I'm trying to do something very similar. My plan is to use a script to grab the login info, and pass it to the other site and use a script there to autolog them in. You can get some measure of security by encrypting the header info that's passed and having the 2nd site only accept a link from the first.

HOWEVER, I'm having one strange problem. With Certain mac users, I can't grab their user info. I've tried to grab both the userid var and the cookie for bbuserid

Here's a test script I'm using.

<?php
$bbuserid = intval($_COOKIE[bbuserid]);
echo "bbuid is ";
echo $bbuserid;
$userid=$userid;
echo "uid= ";
echo $userid
?>

I put this script in the BBS directory and made it accessible from a link in a post. For most users it properly displays their id. But from some, even though they are logged in and have cookies enabled, it gives null values.

What am I doing wrong?
