Show part of a PHP app as module

[caedas]

We have a PHP app that we have been working on for our site. It works off an admin adding a username (which is the same as the forum login name), and uses the SAME vB password, but is a completely separate entity.

The data I want to be on the module will need to be obtained for the current user, given that their name is in the program.

Could someone offer some ideas as how to program this?

So if I'm reading this correctly, you'd like to login to another application using vBulletin credentials? Once you validate my response, I can give you an answer.

It is technically already setup to do that. My problem isn't connecting...but rather creating a module to display the information desired.

What kind of data did you want to represent? The user information from the vBulletin users' table?

[caedas]

Info from the application we made. The login info part was just about accessing data.

I don't really know what you mean then. If it's data from the vBulletin database, just ask me what data you want to display.
