[shorty]

I took a long hard look at the cookie check stuff from VB3.03 today as I want to lose the need for including global.php & all it's extra parts (this is a small CMS which is semi-standalone).

What are the risks (if any as I am almost copying VB's cookie check routine)... (as part of a class).

$usr is an array pulled from the VB db against $_COOKIE, $userpassword reads from $_COOKIE .. $prefix is my license number..

Code: Part of a class..

PHP Code:

 function checkIsRealUser($usr, $userpassword, $prefix)
    {
        if( md5( $usr['password'].$prefix ) == $userpassword )
        {
            $endUser = array();
            $endUser['username'] = $usr['username'];
            $endUser['userid'] = $usr['userid'];
            $endUser['usergroupid'] = $usr['usergroupid'];
            return $endUser;
        } 


Thoughts?
