Zend Framework comes with interesting and useful components when it comes to authentication and authorization of users. Zend_Auth is one such component whose task is to handle authentication.

I made a little screencast on topic of Zend_Auth database table authentication. Screencast is video only, plus some visual pointers, no audio. Hope some of you find it useful as starting point.

I had to slice video onto two parts since YouTube as limit on 10 minute per video.

Zend_Auth Database Table Authentication part 1

Zend_Auth Database Table Authentication part 2

Note: Please consult the official Zend Framework API documentation for detailed overview of Zend_Auth and all other componets.
