How to implement RESTful API authentication in PHP

RESTful API is a commonly used Internet application programming interface design style. In actual development, in order to protect the security of the API, we usually need to authenticate users. This article will introduce how to implement RESTful API authentication in PHP and give specific code examples.

1. Basic Authentication

Basic authentication is the simplest authentication method and one of the most commonly used methods. The principle of basic authentication is to pass user credentials by adding an Authorization field in the HTTP request header. In PHP, we can achieve basic authentication by obtaining HTTP request header information.

<?php
// 獲取HTTP請求頭部信息
$headers = getallheaders();

// 驗(yàn)證Authorization字段
if (isset($headers['Authorization'])) {
    // 獲取用戶憑證
    $authHeader = $headers['Authorization'];
    list($type, $credentials) = explode(' ', $authHeader);

    // 解碼憑證
    $decodedCredentials = base64_decode($credentials);
    list($username, $password) = explode(':', $decodedCredentials);

    // 驗(yàn)證用戶名和密碼
    if ($username == 'admin' && $password == '123456') {
        echo '通過身份驗(yàn)證';
    } else {
        echo '身份驗(yàn)證失敗';
    }
} else {
    // 未傳遞Authorization字段，返回身份驗(yàn)證失敗
    echo '身份驗(yàn)證失敗';
}
?>

2. Token Authentication

Token authentication is a common authentication method. It generates a unique Token for the user after login authentication and sends the Token Returned to the client, each subsequent request from the client needs to add an Authorization field to the HTTP header to pass Token information. In PHP, we can use JSON Web Token (JWT) to implement Token authentication.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use FirebaseJWTJWT;

// 設(shè)置JWT密鑰
$key = 'your-secret-key';

// 生成Token
$token = JWT::encode(array(
    'username' => 'admin',
    'exp' => time() + 3600
), $key);

// 解碼Token
$decoded = JWT::decode($token, $key, array('HS256'));

// 驗(yàn)證Token
if ($decoded->username == 'admin') {
    echo '通過身份驗(yàn)證';
} else {
    echo '身份驗(yàn)證失敗';
}
?>

In this example, we use the Firebase JWT library to generate and decode Token, which needs to be installed through Composer. For each request, we need to add the Token to the HTTP header for delivery.

3. OAuth 2.0 authentication

OAuth 2.0 is a commonly used open standard for authorizing third-party applications to access protected resources. In PHP, we can use the League OAuth2 Server library to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantPasswordGrant;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantRefreshTokenGrant;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerResourceServer;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerAuthorizationServer;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerCryptKey;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantClientCredentialsGrant;

// 設(shè)置公鑰和私鑰
$privateKey = new CryptKey('path/to/private.key', 'passphrase');
$publicKey = new CryptKey('path/to/public.key');

// 創(chuàng)建認(rèn)證服務(wù)器
$server = new AuthorizationServer();

// 添加授權(quán)類型
$server->enableGrantType(
    new PasswordGrant(
        new UserRepository(),
        new RefreshTokenRepository()
    )
);

// 添加客戶端授權(quán)類型
$server->enableGrantType(
    new ClientCredentialsGrant(),
    new DateInterval('PT1H') // 訪問令牌有效期為1小時(shí)
);

// 創(chuàng)建資源服務(wù)器
$resourceServer = new ResourceServer(
    new AccessTokenRepository(),
    $publicKey
);

// 驗(yàn)證訪問令牌
try {
    $accessToken = $resourceServer->validateAuthenticatedRequest(
        ZendDiactorosServerRequestFactory::fromGlobals()
    );

    echo '通過身份驗(yàn)證';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo '身份驗(yàn)證失敗';
}
?>

In this example, we use the League OAuth2 Server library to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication. We need to create AuthorizationServer and ResourceServer instances and configure the corresponding authorization types and token repositories. For each request, we can use ResourceServer to verify the access token.

Summary

This article introduces the method of implementing RESTful API authentication in PHP, and gives code examples for basic authentication, Token authentication and OAuth 2.0 authentication. Based on actual needs and security requirements, you can choose a suitable authentication method to protect the security of the API.
