jumpenjuhosaphat Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I need to create an account on a PHPBB on the same domain as I have a script now. When a user signs up for an account at my site, I want to automatically create an account for PHPBB. I don't have a lot of understanding as to how the passwords are encrypted. Could anyone give me some advice, or perhaps point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Glyde Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Why not just run off of one table? Instead of having a register page on your site, just link it to the phpBB registration system. Anyways, the way phpBB was written, it doesn't allow for easy integration to other parts of a website. You'd be better off (as said before) either running off of one table and linking to the phpBB pages, or getting a more powerful forum such as Invision Power Board, which does allow for easy account management via external scripts.

jumpenjuhosaphat Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I would run it off of one table, only there are some data that isn't requested in the PHPBB database. Such as postalcodes, home address, etc. I guess what I need to know is how to create passwords using the same encryption that is used by PHPBB. I just don't know a thing about encryption or creating encrypted passwords.

skali Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 As far as i know PHPBB creates passwords using MD5 if that is the case you can use php: MD5() function for encryption of your passwords. For further PHP support of encryption/decryption check out http://php.net/mcrypt Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42300-help-with-bridging-to-phpbb-from-my-script/#findComment-205337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
