Login Verification Help

[ricc]

Hey, just a short problem and i was wondering if anyone had any info



I use vbulletin as part of a larger site which requires members to login to areas of the site to play games etc, i previously used phpbb2 and it was easy enough to verify members from the forum database for identification using the inbuilt dreamweaver login script and slightly adapting it to understand the hashed members passwords

 

if (isset($_POST['myusername'])) {

  $loginUsername=$_POST['myusername'];

  $password=md5($_POST['mypassword']);

Unfortunatly, as vb is significantly more complex this is not the case and it will not work



Am i missing something glaringly obvious, like the hash code is different, or can it simply not be done for security reasons?
