Has anyone tried this? Having Problem

Does anyone know if this is compatible with the newest version of phpBB? I can't get it to work.
I couldn't get session_begin to work unless I made the variable $user->id have escaped quotes surrounding it. So the user id passed to phpBB is "jordan" instead of just jordan. Once I did that, I had it print_r the array that session_begin returns, which is:
[user_lastvisit] => 1106955022
[session_id] => fe113a687fb49f1f84d7e71d6a9d268c
[session_ip] => 180cc395
[session_user_id] => "jordan"
[session_logged_in] => 1
[session_page] => 0
[session_start] => 1106955022
[session_time] => 1106955022
So it's clearly working, but then when I jump to the forum, I'm not logged in. Can anyone tell me what else I should do?
Thanks,
Jordan

This is a strange one, i'm working on this at the moment, i started using this script and found I couldnt rely on it, so done things my own way for now, but as to the session cookie, once you have logged in and it shows the sessions ID, it doesn't seem to 'set' the session ID in the cookie ( forumname_sid ) at which point if you go to the forum, you are logged in.

i'll post the URL for a demo later...

Hi,
I was wondering if you had any luck with this?
I've joined a thread addressing this issue at phpbb.com here:
phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=145 ...
My problem is not my forumname_sid, it's the userid. If you got userid working correctly let's swap code.
This code creates this cookie:
PHPSESSID=9fc8f0e597bfed7df2f38a8b2b48ba20; phpbb2mysql_data=a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22
autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0%3A%22%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22
userid%22%3Bs%3A8%3A%22%22Jordan%22%22%3B%7D;
phpbb2mysql_sid=f93bb21135c9c2a4505d9cda6b3f8fa9
Here's what the cookie is when I manually log into the forum:
PHPSESSID=9fc8f0e597bfed7df2f38a8b2b48ba20; phpbb2mysql_data=a%3A2%3A%7Bs%3A11%3A%22
autologinid%22%3Bs%3A0%3A%22%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22
userid%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%223%22%3B%7D;
phpbb2mysql_sid=f93bb21135c9c2a4505d9cda6b3f8fa9
The only difference is the userid string...I think I'm handing it wrong because I hand
session_begin a string "Jordan" instead of an object, and you see it raw in the userid string,
though I tried handing it as an object too and phpBB didn't receive it correctly.
Thanks,
Jordan

I ended up rewriting it from scratch as I found the phpBB Login class on here didn't quite do what it said on the tin...

Can someone please post something that will work on here plz or email me ?? thanks

anyone got it to work?!

Ian OFriel why don';t you share the cod that you got made from scratch? that would be nice..... we are sll stuck with this.. -_-

I don't know about what or how you guys were implementing this, but the user->id being referred to in the sample is really the user_id in the phpbb_users table, NOT the username.

So you need the USER_IDs to be same in both tables (yours and phpbb) to make sure the script works. Oh, and you need to send in the user_id, not the username from you login script.

It's User_id indeed! man I searched way too long for a class like this, but it works! many thanx!

i have the problem
