External Login Question

[sn1p3r001]

Hi there,

I'm new to PHP and modding vb, but I have a page that I want users to be able to log into using their vb5 info. I'm following the instructions in David Grove's guide to set this up.

In his example, he's got a form that displays:

////////////////////////// display a login form

    $userid = vB5_Cookie::get('userid', vB5_Cookie::TYPE_UINT);
    $hash = vB5_Cookie::get('password', vB5_Cookie::TYPE_STRING);

    if (empty($userid) OR empty($hash))
    {
        ?>
        <form action="vb5_external_login.php" method="post">

            <input type="text" name="username" value="" placeholder="User Name" />
            <input type="password" name="password" value="" placeholder="Password" />
            <label><input type="checkbox" name="remember" /> Stay logged in?</label>
            <input type="submit" value="Log In" />

        </form>

I see the form action is vb5_external_login.php. What is supposed to go in that PHP file?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks for your help!
