Detailed Description

The User object encapsulates all of the user-specific settings (user_id, name, rights, email address, options, last login time).

Client classes use the getXXX() functions to access these fields. These functions do all the work of determining whether the user is logged in, whether the requested option can be satisfied from cookies or whether a database query is needed. Most of the settings needed for rendering normal pages are set in the cookie to minimize use of the database.

Note: User implements Authority to ease transition. Always prefer using existing Authority or obtaining a proper Authority implementation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

User::__construct ( )

Lightweight constructor for an anonymous user.

Stability: stable: to call since 1.35

Access: internal: since 1.36, use the UserFactory service instead

◆ __get()

References wfDeprecated(), and wfLogWarning().

◆ __set()

User::__set	(	$name,
		$value
	)

Definition at line 318 of file User.php.

References setOption(), wfDeprecated(), and wfLogWarning().

◆ __sleep()

User::__sleep ( )

Definition at line 339 of file User.php.

◆ __toString()

User::__toString ( )

Returns: string

Definition at line 291 of file User.php.

References getName().

◆ addAutopromoteOnceGroups()

User::addAutopromoteOnceGroups ( $event )

Add the user to the group if he/she meets given criteria.

Contrary to autopromotion by \ref $wgAutopromote, the group will be possible to remove manually via Special:UserRights. In such case it will not be re-added automatically. The user will also not lose the group if they no longer meet the criteria.

Parameters

string $event Key in $wgAutopromoteOnce (each one has groups/criteria)

Returns: string[] Array of groups the user has been promoted to.

Deprecated:: since 1.35 Use UserGroupManager::addUserToAutopromoteOnceGroups. Hard deprecated since 1.37.

See also: $wgAutopromoteOnce

Definition at line 1473 of file User.php.

References wfDeprecated().

◆ addGroup()

User::addGroup	(	$group,
		$expiry = `null`
	)

Add the user to the given group.

This takes immediate effect. If the user is already in the group, the expiry time will be updated to the new expiry time. (If $expiry is omitted or null, the membership will be altered to never expire.)

Deprecated:: since 1.35 Use UserGroupManager::addUserToGroup instead

Parameters

string	$group	Name of the group to add
string \| null	$expiry	Optional expiry timestamp in any format acceptable to wfTimestamp(), or null if the group assignment should not expire

Returns: bool

Definition at line 2937 of file User.php.

◆ addToDatabase()

User::addToDatabase ( )

Add this existing user object to the database.

If the user already exists, a fatal status object is returned, and the user object is initialised with the data from the database.

Previously, this function generated a DB error due to a key conflict if the user already existed. Many extension callers use this function in code along the lines of:

$user = User::newFromName( $name ); if ( !$user->isRegistered() ) { $user->addToDatabase(); } // do something with $user...

However, this was vulnerable to a race condition (T18020). By initialising the user object if the user exists, we aim to support this calling sequence as far as possible.

Note that if the user exists, this function will acquire a write lock, so it is still advisable to make the call conditional on isRegistered(), and to commit the transaction after calling.

Does the string match an anonymous IP address?

This function exists for username validation, in order to reject usernames which are similar in form to IP addresses. Strings such as 300.300.300.300 will return true because it looks like an IP address, despite not being strictly valid.

We match "\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.xxx" as an anonymous IP address because the usemod software would "cloak" anonymous IP addresses like this, if we allowed accounts like this to be created new users could get the old edits of these anonymous users.

static

Static factory method for creation of a "system" user from username.

A "system" user is an account that's used to attribute logged actions taken by MediaWiki itself, as opposed to a bot or human user. Examples might include the 'Maintenance script' or 'Conversion script' accounts used by various scripts in the maintenance/ directory or accounts such as 'MediaWiki message delivery' used by the MassMessage extension.

This can optionally create the user if it doesn't exist, and "steal" the account if it does exist.

"Stealing" an existing user is intended to make it impossible for normal authentication processes to use the account, effectively disabling the account for normal use:

Email is invalidated, to prevent account recovery by emailing a temporary password and to disassociate the account from the existing human.
The token is set to a magic invalid value, to kill existing sessions and to prevent $this->setToken() calls from resetting the token to a valid value.
SessionManager is instructed to prevent new sessions for the user, to do things like deauthorizing OAuth consumers.
AuthManager is instructed to revoke access, to invalidate or remove passwords and other credentials.

Parameters

string	$name	Username
array	$options	Options are: validate: As for User::getCanonicalName(), default 'valid'. Deprecated since 1.36. create: Whether to create the user if it doesn't already exist, default true steal: Whether to "disable" the account for normal use if it already exists, default false

Returns: User|null

◆ pingLimiter()

User::pingLimiter	(	$action = `'edit'`,

Parameters

string	$action	Action to enforce; 'edit' if unspecified
int	$incrBy	Positive amount to increment counter by [defaults to 1]

Returns: bool True if a rate limiter was tripped

◆ touch()

User::touch ( )

Update the "touched" timestamp for the user.

This is useful on various login/logout events when making sure that a browser or proxy that has multiple tenants does not suffer cache pollution where the new user sees the old users content.
