##What is an Rbac System?
Take a look at the "Before You Begin" section of our Documentation to learn what an RBAC system is and what PHP-RBAC has to offer you and your project.
##NIST Level 2 Compliance
For information regarding NIST RBAC Levels, please see This Paper.
For more great resources see the NIST RBAC Group Page.
##Installation
You can now use Composer to install the PHP-RBAC code base.
For Installation Instructions please refer to the "Getting Started" section of our Documentation.
##Usage##
Instantiating a PHP-RBAC Object
With a 'use' statement:
use PhpRbac;
$rbac = new Rbac();
Without a 'use' statement, outside of a namespace:
$rbac = new PhpRbac\Rbac();
Without a 'use' statement, inside of another namespace (notice the leading backslash):
$rbac = new \PhpRbac\Rbac();
##PHP-RBAC and PSR
PHP-RBAC's Public API is now fully PSR-0, PSR-1 and PSR-2 compliant.
You can now:
- Use Composer to install/update PHP-RBAC
- Use any PSR-0 compliant autoloader with PHP-RBAC
- Use the included autoloader to load PHP-RBAC
If you notice any conflicts with PSR compliance please Submit an Issue.
##The future of PHP-RBAC
We are in the process of refactoring the PHP-RBAC internals. We have two goals in mind while doing this:
- To meet modern PHP OOP "Best Practices"
- To meet PHP-FIG PSR compliance: http://www.php-fig.org/
With a PSR compliant Public API already in place we can continue to work towards our goals one piece at a time without altering the Public API that developers are working with and rely on, making the transition as seamless and invisible as possible.
