As long as you include global.php in your script, a vB session will be set and the user will show logged in i think.

i included the global.php in a file in a folder one up of the forum folder. i got this error:

Warning: main(/talkies/global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/xbhp1/public_html/posts.php on line 1

Warning: main(/talkies/global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/xbhp1/public_html/posts.php on line 1

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/talkies/global.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/xbhp1/public_html/posts.php on line 1

I reckoned that this must be a relative path error, but it wasnt. no use of removing the starting backslash either. please help.

You will need to do a chdir to your forum directory prior to calling teh global.php.

PHP Code:

chdir("./forum");
require_once("./global.php); 


If needed chdit back after the global.

i did what u said and it seemed to work, but i got this error: "Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home2/xbhp1/public_html/posts.php
Line: 3"

but when i cleared cookies the page showed up fine. if i add this code to every page it wont be possible to tell the non tech savvy users to clear the cookiea and relogin to hget rid of this unfreindly message.

Make sure you have no page output before you put Marco's code there. Also make sure there is no spaces before the <?php at the top of the page

i tried to figure out how to chdir back. this is the php code i used but of no avail.

PHP Code:

<?PHP 
$dir = getcwd();
chdir("../../talkies"); 
print $dir;
require_once("global.php");
chdir($dir);

 ?>

its throwing an error.
