Ajax Login/Logout

[sanjeev_jha]

I am trying to integrate vbulletin in my application. I am using vb user table for login.

User logs in from inline popup form. User login details are verified via AJAX.

So far, I have been able to verify user logins (username and password) through AJAX but I got struck in creating session.

Can anyone help me in creating Sessions? What are the cookies that need to be set?

Taken from login.php

PHP Code:

process_new_login($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'], $vbulletin->GPC['cookieuser'], $vbulletin->GPC['cssprefs']);

Thanks for the quick response.

Actually I am using my own function to check user login details. How can I pass username to process_new_login function. Also is there any other way for creating session?

Look inside the function and see what it does.

I went through the function. There are some variables used like $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']. Can you help me to set these variables?

So far, I have been able to verify username and password using my own function. Here's how I have verifed:

1. Get userid, username, password, salt from Database for the given username.
2. Check the given password 
        md5( md5($given_password) . $salt) with password in database.

After this, I am trying to create session. I cannot directly use vbulletin's login.php script because I have to use AJAX login.

I think I have missed some steps before using process_new_login(). Would you please help me in finding the missing steps?

process_new_login() creates a new session.

I am still unable to use this function properly.

After checking login details,

PHP Code:

// $someone is the user details fetched from database
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = $someone['User']['userid'];
$vbulletin->userinfo['password'] = $someone['User']['password'];                
process_new_login('', 1, ''); 


Is this the correct way of using this function?

Thanks everybody for your help.

I solved this problem myself using Curl
