Ok, I'm on a mission to expand my knowledge of PHP and MySQL. So as a project, i decided to try and integrate vB (Yes I am Licensed! Check my records

) with a news script written by a friend of mine. now this is my problem(s).

My friend's News script uses sessions (vB uses Sessions for admin and cookies for users) and only supports one news poster (the admin).

So I was thinking that if i could modify this enough, i could get it to work with vB. What I'm planning to do is use the usergroupid variable from vB and create a newsposter's group and then multiple people would be able to post news and not just the admin.

The problem i ran into was that when i tried to login, it would not accept my password. I think this has something to do with the MD5 encryption that vB uses on their passwords. How would I be able to do this?

adminlogin.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php

include("../config.php");

include("../global.php");

session_start();

if(!isset($uid)) {

?>

<html><head>

<title>X-Gate admin</title></head>

<?php

exit;

}

session_register("uid");

session_register("pwd");



mysql_select_db("auspc_net");



$sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '$uid' AND password = '$pwd'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);



if ($number = mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {

session_unregister("uid");

session_unregister("pwd");

?>

$adminname = mysql_result($result,0,"userid");

$adminemail = mysql_result($result,0,"email");

$password = mysql_result($result,0,"password");

?>

global.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die("Unable to connect to database");

mysql_select_db ($DBname);

    

    $result = mysql_db_query($DBname, "SELECT * FROM newsoptions");

    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);



    $adminname = $row["adminname"];

    $adminemail = $row["adminemail"];

    $welcome_msg = $row["welcomemsg"];

    $boxxnet_site = $row["xgate"];

    $sitename5 = $row["sitename"];

    $backgroundcolor = $row["color1"];

    $menucolor1 = $row["color2"];

    $textcolor = $row["textcolor"];

    $leftcontentmenu = $row["color3"];

    $footer = $row["footer"];

    $logoimage = $row["logoimage"];

    $siteurl = $row["siteurl"];

    $titlecolor = $row["titlecolor"];

    $titlebgcolor = $row["titlebgcolor"];

    $version = $row["version"];

    $leftmwidth = $row["leftmwidth"];

?>

Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers

Why not just use vb's session/permissions instead of using the ones in this script? Just look at the other files in vb to get an idea of what you need to do. You would also want to use vb's global.php and merge the data in the news scripts global php into the adminlogin.php. You could also go further and use vb's sql functions as well....just my 2 cents...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
