phpBB integrated to my Login System

[Dyno]

hi for my website i'm trying to create a good login system thats integrated with my phpBB forums.  does anyone know a good place i can find a good resource to make one or a good eBook that will help me create something like this. or point me in the right direction if something already exsists.

There are all kinds of content management scripts, phpnuke is the first one that comes to mind. Pretty easy to install and it's free as well which is never a bad thing.

i've looked into that but i want to learn to make my own script that will allow me ot make my own login system and integrate it myself with phpBB.  i'm just trying to find a eBook or a website that will help me with the development basics

edit: i've tried those scripts like phpnuke and that but they just dont seem to be what im looking for.

Anyone know anything about this? i'm still looking for help on this

That worked good, but i wanted to use the phpBB database but when they login at that screen it takes you to the custom page i made for logged in members. sorta like a basic website but with specific options only for logged in members

Thanks

if($userdata['session_logged_in']) {
//Put code for custom member's page here
}
else {
//Normal page and login form
}

Of course, you probably don't want it structured like that. But you get the idea. You also have access to all the user data for the person logged in. Do var_dump($userdata) while logged in to see what you can play with.
