A bare-bones php token authentication class

simple token requires nothing more than a base installation of PHP 5.3 and can be easily adapted for use in an API.

1. Generate a key to store on each end

   $key = SimpleToken::generateKey();

2. Generate a token to be passed from one end to the other. This token will be good for until the end of the current day. There's a better way to do this, and I'll certainly come back and make it so, someday.

   $token = SimpleToken::generateToken($key, $content);

3. Verify the authenticity of the transaction.

   if(SimpleToken::isAuthentic($key, $content, $token))
   {
   	echo 'Valid';
   }
   else
   {
   	echo 'Invalid';
   }
