Check for correct password from seperate script!

[6impy]

Hello everyone,

I have been using vB for almost 2 years now (over 10,000 members) and I have decided to require users to register a forum account to be able to post reviews on the main website because of increased spam/inappropriate reviews.

I know that the passwords are encrypted, but thats about all I know. What do I need to do to unencrypt the pass to check it?

Thanks,
Andrew

Wow, I feel stupid now :laugh:

I got it...

Oh, and just in case anyone else wants to know, just md5() the password the user entered and then compare it to the one in the database. You compare the two as encrypted passwords...

or, you can just see if $bbuserinfo[userid] is not equal to ""
