In regards to oauth the phpleague packages are fairly popular. Again, the flow requires some redirect dancing so not something that can be (simply) just a single boolean-returning method on the PHP side. Additionally, oauth is a relatively weak standard (Especially where you want to verify identity) in which case platform specific actions/tweaks are needed hence why most use platform-specific oauth libraries. OIDC builds upon oauth to standardize the flow, including getting the identity, but it isn't supported by all platforms offering oauth.

"Login with Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc": That's called OAuth2 and quite easy to implement. This package is good OAuth2 client to start.

I'd recommend using a library - for Azure AD OAuth we've been using https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client + https://github.com/thenetworg/oauth2-azure (see also https://oauth2-client.thephpleague.com/providers/thirdparty/ )

For Azure AD, I'd recommend the combination of https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client for the authentication part (getting the token) and the Microsoft Graph SDK for then using the token to get information about the user https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-php
