With the advent of URL authenication in karl's icecast branch there have been a few support reqests in the irc channel on how to make use of it with MySQL. As a result I've put together a few php scripts that provide a working example which illustrates how the system can work. In the pack there is the authenication script, a script to test the login and a couple that allow you to add/remove users from the sample database (icecast.sql). You will need karl's branch for this to work, kh-4 has just been released. Further details are included in the pack readme. Get it from here http://imux.net/icecast/ Any feedback/additions welcome.
