Any of you excellent PHP dudes got any code that I can use to login to a phpBB3 forum from a site on the same server? It needs to be something that doesn't make extensive use of the actual phpBB resources, as whenever I try and do that it doesn't work. |

Er... The login page of PHPBB3 works quite well. What are you trying to do? |

There's a website I'm doing that's based on my own CMS framework. So there is already a login/register function on that framework that works. They want to add a forum in, and to simplify things I want forum accounts to be created when someone registers on the main site, and when someone logs in on the main site the account on the forum gets logged in too. I've already linked up the registration processes but the login just doesn't want to work. I have an idea why, but I'm not sure. The reason for doing this is that the register/login features of the forum software itself will be removed so everything is done through the main site. |

Is it cookies? This forum seems like an arse with cookies. I take it you've copied most of the code you need from the forum's login page? |

I suspect it's something to do with the cookies, but bizarrely the forum doesn't create any so perhaps it's the session instead. |

It er... You what? I can assure you it should. I take it you can log into the forum okay using the forum login? |

Yeah, it all works OK using the forum login but even checking the list of cookies in Firefox shows that it hasn't created any. Spooky. |

What do you have in the 'cookie settings' on the first page of the ACM (on the left, right near the bottom)? |

Cookie domain: server (the name of our server, obv) Cookie path: / Cookie name: phpbb3_2ryf3 Cookie secure: disabled I've just logged into the forum. No cookies matching that name exist. I clear all cookies using Firefox, and my account stays logged in on the server. I logout and login again, and the only cookie created has the name "style_cookie". |

Why didn't I think of that? I have LiveHTTPHeaders installed in Firefox, d'oh. Anyway, it looks like it's trying to set the cookies: Set-Cookie: phpbb3_2ryf3_u=56; expires=Fri, 24-Jul-2009 10:11:02 GMT; path=/; domain=server; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: phpbb3_2ryf3_k=ff17156c5fdccda4; expires=Fri, 24-Jul-2009 10:11:02 GMT; path=/; domain=server; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: phpbb3_2ryf3_sid=9aabab3ef132c1224f5d335bf670c152; expires=Fri, 24-Jul-2009 10:11:02 GMT; path=/; domain=server; HttpOnly But then those cookies aren't present in any of the other headers, and they never get saved. It's an Apache server running on Windows 2000, wouldn't be an Apache security thing or anything would it? |

The cookies look right from what little I know of phpbb (the SID one is the important one I think). Grim...?

Try setting the cookie domain to your full domain name, e.g. http://www.mysystem.tld, http://www.something.mydomain.tld. You must ensure the domain name contains at least two dots or browsers will be unlikely to recognise the cookie, e.g. .mydomain.com, mydomain.com. Do not add http:// or anything else. |

It's not that, I just tried it with http://www.source-design.co.uk and it's still not saving the cookies. //edit: without the http:// obv. |

It's alright, I'd not changed the cookie settings in the admin panel, because I'm a fuckwit. All works now. Mah-vellous. Cheers. |
