Php prefill an email address

hey dan -

this link seemed to indicate there may be a better way to pre-populate the google login other than using login_hint:

Do NOT forward login_hint to identity provider

Thank you for your suggestion, @James.Morrison. Unfortunately, I have already tried this and the result is the same as if setting it pr request from auth0.js. If I configure the connection to pass any non-empty value, this value is forwarded to the identity provider as expected. However, if I pass null or empty string, the empty value is not passed along, but instead the login_hint value is copied from the request to the login-page and forwarded to the identity provider.

Our best practice recommendations from Auth0 have been changed to discontinue using login_hint as a way to pass this data, and instead recommend doing a namespaced parameter.
e.g.  `mycompany_showsignup=1`  or  `mycompany_initialscreen=signup`
This will help avoid any conflicts with the appropriate use of those parameters.

but that being said, i have run out of time (and patience) to get this working so i have hired somebody to finish this for me (yes Dan, i am cheating…!)

i was able to implement your “upstream_params” but was still unable to see any meaningful results.

assuming my contractor gets this working, i will be posting all the steps he went through, with a special asterisk notation to the steps i probably carelessly glossed over.

thanks.
