Cheers Kevin,

I'd forgot about the DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING so thats one problem solved as I was puzzled as to why I couldn't get the $ptpassword to echo.

I'll have another look at the phpbb/includes/functions.php and phpbb_hash() and see if I can see anything different in there.

Yeah, I knew there was errors in my code sample, but that is just pure example code of what my vision is, but nothing has been written yet, other than grabbing the imported userid, and the phpbb password from the database.

I'll be back in a bit, and let you know if I'm making any progress. I hadn't thought about looking in includes/functions_login.php for hooks either, so thats something I'll investigate further later.
