Hi,

Is it possible anyone has a tutorial or treehouse plan to do a authentication tutorial for PHP that links to an admin panel would be really handy!

I know this isn't exactly what you were asking for, but...

I've been playing around with Google Apps Engine and if you look at their Client API: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/downloads

And at some of the these examples on github: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/tree/master/examples

It at least has some examples of how they exchange user tokens and such. The documentation is pretty bad and often out of date, but I've been digging all over those sights and its helped me understand a lot. And helped me find out what I need to search for to get other examples.

Hope that helps!

You just can't wait for an up-to-date tutorial. It's hard and it's confusing, but after taking the PHP course, I feel like I can fill in the gaps much easier than before taking the courses.

Have you seen the Laravel course? Laravel (and most frameworks) come ready pacakaged with a pretty robust authentication system, so you could start there :-)
