Question about retrieving identity information

Jhorra · #1 (**permalink**) 07-05-2007, 02:19 AM

This is what I'm using to write the data after a user is logged in:

Code:

//$auth is this -> $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
$data = $authAdapter->getResultRowObject(null,'password');
$auth->setStorage()->write($data);

I understand that it uses sessions to write the data, but how do i get it back to read it?

I think I figured it out. You can use:
$store = $auth->getStorage();
$store is an object, so you can then do:
$values = store->read();

$values is then an array of the values.

Ok, not quite as clever as I thought. I can't seem to figure out how to get the $auth back on the other pages.

have a look at $auth->getIdentity();
by the way, $auth->getStorage()->write() isn't a exactly the easiest or cleanest way to do that...

It's a little cryptic to me, in the API manual it says of getIdentity(): Returns the identity from storage or null if no identity is available

Does that mean it returns what was passed to it? In my case being the array of values?

I think my confusion comes from my programming in .Net, where they have a similar thing to this, but when you check the identity it returns the ID only of the user.
