Hi,

I have seen on many sites, when you pay for a certain membership, you are added to the authentication on the iceast server, I want to get a vb forum and do this for myself rather than manually adding them.

http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-...tenerauth.html

I gather I need to make a php file.

That looks something like this;

<?php 
// This is a simple example script when using auth url. This sort of 
// script would be on a web server that would be invoked by icecast when 
// checking for a username/password supplied by a listener. 
 
// This code is made available under the most current version of the GPL 
// (c) S.Nixon 
 
 require './mysql.inc.php'; 
 
// copy to local variables 
$user_name = $HTTP_GET_VARS['user']; 
$passwd = $HTTP_GET_VARS['pass']; 
 
if ($user_name && $passwd) 
// trying to authenticate 
{ 
    // try authenticating them in 
    $login_result = login($user_name, $passwd); 
    if ($login_result === true) 
    { 
      // okay, so they have a valid login 
      header('icecast-auth-user: 1'); 
    }   
    else 
    { 
      // unsuccessful login, error message should be in $login_result 
      header('icecast-auth-user: 0'); 
      echo 'You could not be logged in for the following reason: '.$login_result.'<br /> You must be authenticated to connect to this stream.<br />'; 
    }       
} 
 
function login($username, $password) 
// check username and password with db 
// if yes, return true 
// else return an error string... 
{ 
 
  $username = trim($username); 
  // connect to db 
  $conn = db_connect(); 
  if (!$conn) 
    return 'Could not connect to database server - please try later.'; 
 
  // check username & pass 
  // $result = mysql_query("select * from users where user_name='$username' and password = password('$password')"); 
     $result = mysql_query("SELECT user.password, MD5(CONCAT(MD5('{$password}'), user.salt)), user.userid FROM user WHERE user.username='{$username}'"); 
  
 
 if (!$result) 
     return 'Could not execute authenication query; please report this to the admin.'; 
  // if there's exactly one result, the user is validated. Otherwise, they're invalid 
  if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) 
  {    
     return true; 
  } 
} 
 
function db_connect() { 
  $result = mysql_connect(DB_HOSTNAME, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD) 
    or die('Could not open connection to database.'); 
 
  mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) 
    or die('Could not select db.'); 
   
  return $result; 
} 
?>

But i have no idea what this means

So if I buy a liscense, would you guys be able to help me get it set up?

Cheers
