custom login suggestion

[upirate]

hi all,

so I got VB 3.6.5

I have a site that currently does not have a login system but I will be trying to use VB's login system sitewide


I can do this right ?????

<?
// Near or at the begining of the php file
require_once('./global_stock.php');
?>


and then do stuff like

<?
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']){
// If they are logged in, then do this
//stuff here
}
else{
// If they aren't logged in, do something else here.
}
?>


But one question though.......Can I login/register user outside of VB ?


thankyou for your feedback
