o ok, i figured something like that. i've been programming in PHP for about 6 months...i can do queries and stuff like that, simple things i guess. anyway, does anyone out there know how i can go about calling this function and producing the query. i basically want registered members to enter a username and password on the form i give, which goes to a PHP file for processing. the file will check to see if the username and password they entered in the form matches in the vb3_user table. prior to this i used $PHP_AUTH_ACCESS to do this, however, my members had to register for both my site and forums....i'd like to just authorize them with thier forum information. tips on doing this would be great, some scripting advice and/or code would be even better. thanks guys.
