Hello ;

How are you All

i am happy to became a member in your community

i have been wondering about something since 3 years but i didn't get a useful answer about it .
let us start my question for assuming that i got a website which i have a small article script in it the script is my Home Page
www.site.com
and also i got a Vbulletin forums which is in this link
www.site.com/forums
Now , i do not want to crate two members tables for the Vbulletin DB and article script DB.
tha question is : Can i used my currently members in Vbulletin DB in article script ?
that i want only my vbulletin members can read the articles in article script ?
and also add comments to the article script by their vbulletin names ?
how could i check in my script about the user if he has a member in my vbulletin forums such as that simple code :

PHP Code:

<?
if($User_Name){
echo "Hello Vbulletin member";
}
else {
echo "You do not have permission to access this article please register in out forums by going to www.site.com/forums/register.php";
}
?>

that was my question i hope it is easy and i get an answer about it .. and i will be grateful for any answer to help me ..
