I just took a script (below) and added it to my website. It integrates the vBB login with a non-vb website. So when I was doing this I thought about the security issue. So I'm wondering how secure is this script. Is it secure enoght that I just have to portect myphpAdmin and the mySQL database?? or is this just a script that looks like its protecting something

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Here is the php script...

PHP Code:


			
<? 

chdir($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/bulletinboard"); 

require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/bulletinboard/global.php3"); 



if ($bbuserid == 0) 

{ 

eval("echo standarderror(\$bbtitle,\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission")."\");"); 

exit; 

} 



if ($bbusername == "" || (isset($bbusername))==0) 

{ 

$getusername=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserid"); 

$username=$getusername[username]; 

$bbusername = $username; 

} 

else 

{ 

$username = $bbusername; 

} 



?>

There is no more security risk using this script then allowing people to log into your forums directly.

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