An example application demonstrating how to authenticate users with AuthKit and the WorkOS PHP SDK.

Refer to the User Management documentation for reference.

Prerequisites

You will need a WorkOS account.

Requirements

PHP 8.1

Running the example

  1. In the WorkOS dashboard, head to the Redirects tab and create a sign-in callback redirect for http://localhost:3000/callback.

  2. After creating the redirect URI, navigate to the API keys tab and copy the Client ID and the Secret Key. Rename the .env.example file to .env and supply your Client ID and API key as environment variables.

  3. Additionally, create a cookie password as the private key used to encrypt the session cookie. Copy the output into the environment variable WORKOS_COOKIE_PASSWORD.

    It has to be at least 32 characters long. You can use https://1password.com/password-generator/ to generate strong passwords. Alternatively, use the OpenSSL library to generate a secure password:

    openssl rand -base64 24

  4. Verify your .env file has the following variables filled.

    WORKOS_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
WORKOS_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY>
WORKOS_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback
WORKOS_COOKIE_PASSWORD=<YOUR_COOKIE_PASSWORD>

  5. Install the dependencies

    composer install

  6. Run the following command and navigate to http://localhost:3000.

    composer start
