I knocked up the following over the past couple of days. It's just a modification of db-convert that ships with Anope 1.9, however it produces XML rather than the custom DB format. Google Code project can be found at http://code.google.com/p/anope-db-convert-xml/

The XML produced /should/ comply with the included DTD but let me know if it doesn't in any instances.

Benchmarks show it parsing 5000 nicks, 1000 chans and 100 bots into a 6.2MB XML file in just under 2 seconds. When the XML is used with simplexml and php a user can be authenticated by alias and password in 0.3 seconds including the time to parse the XML into the simplexml object.

Any comments, let me know.

Just for the sake of those who may use it could you provide some sample PHP code showing how to make use of the XML data?

Sure. The following function and test case takes a user and pass from the url (e.g. page.php?user=phil&pass=supersecretpassword) and checks it against the xml database. The function returns true on match and false on non-match. Test case echoes test data as appropriate.

Code: [Select]

<?php
if (authCheck('../../anope.xml', $_GET['user'], $_GET['pass'])) {
        echo $_GET['user'] . ' is valid';
}
else {
        echo $_GET['user'] . ' is invalid';
}

function authCheck($file, $user, $pass) {
        // Make object
        $xml = simplexml_load_file($file);

        // Loop through and find user objects by their password
        // This is more efficient to do this first since we must only
        // loop nickcores and not every alias in every nick core
        foreach ($xml->nickcores->nickcore as $core) {
                // Check for password match
                if (bin2hex(base64_decode($core->password)) == sha1($pass)) {
                        // Now loop through the aliases of the matching core
                        foreach ($core->aliases->alias as $alias) {
                                // Check for nick match
                                if ($alias->nick == $user) {
                                        return true;
                                }
                        }
                }
        }

        return false;
}
?>

You can run a simplexml object through print_r to see the full data output.
