Does the PEAR authentication class only support login functionality or does it also offer registration solutions for new users?

The PEAR authentication class primarily focuses on login functionality and does not inherently provide registration solutions for new users. To implement user registration functionality, you would need to develop additional code to handle user creation and storage in a database. 

// Example code for user registration using PHP and MySQL
// Connect to MySQL database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Process user registration form submission
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

    // Insert new user into database
    $sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('$username', '$password')";
    
    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
        echo "New user registered successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
    }
}

// Close database connection
$conn->close();
