i need to link up my site members to phpbb so they can use both with same login


Recommended Posts

Ok on my site i have a member system using sessions, and mysql. i have just installed phpbb2 and was wondering is it possible to make the members of my site automatically be members of the forum, so it uses the same databse if so how? or maybe it can use 2 databases i dont know, thanks.

go into phpmyadmin if you have it, and have a look at the phpBB tables and look for the users table.  I'm sure when you are creating your users for your site you could also do inserts into the phpBB users table, depends how similar the structure is.  You may have to alter your own sign up to be more similar to theirs.  You should post in the phpBB site forum and ask though, as there may be other dependancies to consider.
