+PHP OpenID
+----------
+
+This is the PHP OpenID library by JanRain, Inc. You can visit our
+website for more information about this package and other OpenID
+implementations and tools:
+
+ http://www.openidenabled.com/
+
+GETTING STARTED
+===============
+
+First, run the 'examples/detect.php' script either from the command
+line or via the web. It will generate a report of any system
+configuration changes necessary to run the library.
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+You will need PHP 4.3.0 or greater to use this library. We have
+tested the library Linux on PHP 4.3.0, 4.4.1, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1. We
+have tested the library on Windows XP on PHP 4.4.4.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Install dependencies.
+
+ - Enable either the GMP extension or Bcmath extension. (GMP is
+ STRONGLY recommended because it's MUCH faster!) This is
+ required.
+
+ - Enable the CURL extension.
+
+ - If you plan to use SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL to store OpenID
+ data, you'll need PEAR DB. You can install this by running this
+ as root:
+
+ # pear install DB
+
+ You'll also need to install and enable the appropriate PHP
+ database extension. Alternatively, you can store OpenID data on
+ the filesystem instead of using a relational database. Nothing
+ special is required for using the filesystem method.
+
+ - Install either the DOM or domxml PHP XML processing extension,
+ but not both (they are incompatible).
+
+2. Copy the Auth/ directory into your PHP include path.
+
+TESTING YOUR SETUP
+==================
+
+You can use the example code to test your setup. To run the example
+consumer or server, follow the instructions in the examples/README
+file.
+
+USING THE API
+=============
+
+The best way to get started using the API is to take a look at the
+example consumer and server in the examples/ directory. See the
+examples/README file for more details.
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING
+===============
+
+* If you're unable to use an OpenID URL with the library, you may want
+to try using the discover tool (examples/discover.php). This tool
+will perform OpenID discovery on the identifier and give a list of
+discovered OpenID services and their types.
+
+* On some systems, PHP basedir restrictions prevent web servers from
+opening a source of randomness, such as /dev/urandom. If your PHP
+OpenID library has trouble getting a satisfactory source of
+randomness, check your Apache and PHP configurations to be sure that
+the randomness source is in the list of allowed paths for the
+"open_basedir" option.
+
+* In some cases, bugs in the GMP math library will result in signature
+validation errors when using this library. Since GMP is preferred
+over bcmath (for performance), you will have to define
+Auth_OpenID_BUGGY_GMP in your application *before* importing any of
+the library code:
+
+ define('Auth_OpenID_BUGGY_GMP', true);
+
+* Not all PHP installations support SSL. You can find out if yours
+supports SSL by reading the "HTTP Fetching" section of the output of
+"examples/detect.php." If your installation does not support SSL,
+then https:// identity URLs and server URLs will not be supported by
+the library. An attempt to use such an identity URL will be
+equivalent to using an invalid OpenID. To enable SSL support,
+recompile PHP with OpenSSL support or install the appropriate OpenSSL
+module for your platform. If you are using CURL, CURL will need to be
+built with OpenSSL support.
