vb.org Archive - Help with login outside VB

Hi!

I have a competition running on my web page which requires the users to login. The login information is currently checked across a phpbb2 forum. Then new cookies are set outside phpbb2 to remember the user is logged in. Actually what I do is just check if the login information is correct from the phpbb2 forum. That's all.
No I'm trying to make it work for vb3 but I don't know how although I have read several posts.
Your help would be very much appreciated.

Here is the code for phpbb2 I'm currently using ($userid,$pwd are taken from user input from a login forum):

Code:

function CheckUserLogin($userid, $pwd) {



        global $dbaseUserData, $User, $useEncryption;



        // if encryption enabled encrypt the password

    if ($useEncryption == TRUE) {

          $pwd = md5($pwd);

        }



        // Default the login to false.

        $User = new User;

        $User->loggedIn = FALSE;

        $User->usertype = 1;



        $link = OpenConnection();

        if ($link == FALSE) {

          return FALSE;

        }



        $userquery = "SELECT * FROM phpbb_users where  username = \"$userid\"";

        $userresult = mysql_query($userquery)

                or die("Query failed: $userquery");

        if ($userline = mysql_fetch_array($userresult, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

          if ($pwd == $userline["user_password"]) {

                // The passwords are equal. Log the user in, and update the 

                // data.

                $User->userid = $userid;

                $User->pwd = $pwd;

                }

 } 

                return TRUE;

          }

        }

        CloseConnection($link);

        return FALSE;

  }
