Checking passwords against a FluxBB database
If you want to check a user against a FluxBB database...
Do this:
Code:
$user = 'username to check';
$pass = 'password to check';
define('PUN_ROOT', '/path/to/forums/'); //DO NOT FORGET THE TRAILING SLASH!!!
include PUN_ROOT . 'include/common.php';
$result = $db->query('SELECT 1 FROM ' . $db->prefix . 'users
WHERE username=\'' . $user . '\'
AND password=\'' . sha1($pass) . '\'');
if ($db->num_rows($result)) {
//user is valid
} else {
//user is invalid
}Thanks to GeonoTRON2000 for inspring me to write this.

You put this in a script that checks if the user's login credentials are correct.
Such as this one:

Re: Checking passwords against a FluxBB database
This can be used as a form... Here's a code to log into the GT forums:
Code:
<form action="http://forums.thegt.org/auth.php"> Username: <input type="textarea" name="username"> Password: <input type="password" name="password"> <input type="Submit" value=" Go! "> </form>
At least I think that'll work...

But the text area should just be text.
Hai.

What that will do is it will show you your rank, not log you in.
I'm probably going to use it to make a chat.

It works on any server with FluxBB installed. It is a server-side script, not a browser-side one.
