It's rare, but I have to pay MS a compliment: the ASP.NET WebMethod (AJAX) authorization is a dream, regarding my desire for security and laziness.Encosia's ASP.NET page methods are only as secure as you make them absolutely fits those needs. ASP.NET is actually workable for me now. Free at last! (From the noble but disastrous AJAXControlToolkit).Anyways, the problem is, that's for work. I'm not buying the MS architecture when LAMP's out there for free. I'm new to AJAX, and I can't seem to find a clear answer on how to authorize AJAX calls to PHP in the same way as Encosia above.Can anyone suggest the PHP equivalent of what Encosia does in the link above?Thanks in advance!
