Best PHP login script?

Question

Hey stackoverflow! I am building my first website with log in functionality and I was searching for a good log in script. However, googling just won't work because there are too many to choose from, so I thought I'd ask here.

What is in your experience a good login script that you often use? It will need registring options and e-mailing the new users etc. Also some different user levels might come in handy. Pasword encryption/salting and possibly good form handling as well.

What do you guys often use? thanks!

this any good?: http://evolt.org/node/60384/

Write your own. At beginning it may be bad, but programming is the best way to learn. Even if it'll be totally useless or it will have many errors, it's yours. You can always read tips creating login script. I suggest you using password_* functions family, bcrypt, pbkdf2, or really just password_* functions.

Good luck.

Try Zend_Auth, you have lots of choice for user database, mysql, active directory, ldap and ...
