Topic: Users login status on an external page?

I searched and didnt find anything, and looked in the how to faq above.

I have an external php file on my website, the index.php. It is not associated with the forums. I got my index to pull news from the forums etc, but I want my index to show if a user is logged in or not. I couldnt figure out how your cookie/login works, and where each variable is pulled from.

Whats the best/easiest way to see if a user is logged in or out on my index file.

Thanks.

define('PUN_ROOT', './');
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';
if ($pun_user['is_guest'])
{
}
else
{
}

Did you already have the first two lines in your code?

I had something similar, but I removed them and put yours.
