External PHP login script

Hello!

I am developing some software for users to use with the forum. Activity in the forum and in the software will affect each other, so the user must login to the software using their forum account.

I am curious as to how i could use the users existing password to achieve this, instead of creating a new password for each user. I understand the basics of PHP but do not understand the more complex elements such as how the passwords are encrypted for Vbulletin.

Does anyone know if there is a simple example PHP script out there which does the following:

Code:

$username = the inputted username

$password = the inputted password



if $password = password in the Vbulletin database for $username

  echo "login success"

else

  echo "login failed"

This has been brought up several times before - logging in only once for a whole site. Do a search on "registration" or "login" in both this forum and take a look at the Articles forums.

Just do a search and see if you find what you are looking for. It really has been brought up several times, but every site is different and has different needs. So, just look around and see if you can find something close to what you want.

Thanks for the help!

For those who have the same problem and need the answer, here it is:

md5(md5(password)+salt)
