4 situations you must predict and solve the problem


1. user is logging from your site

in your login class, function, script, whatever, put after your operations this:

include("./forum/config.php");
include("./forum/include/functions.php");
setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array($your_sent_login, pun_hash($your_sent_pass))), $expire, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure);

of course the forum directory path may be other in your case.
it sets the coookie for the forum.. as you can see, now when you logon on your site, the cookie is set and you're logged on the forum..


2. if the user logs on by forum

on the top of /includes/common.php put session_start();

in /login.php, find the lines below and put code before:

/ * your site login code in here, session data saving, maybe database update, etc... of course put it in a working way, don't blame the forum smile if it's included ok - it must work */
setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array($db_username, $form_password_hash)), $expire, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure);
redirect($_POST['redirect_url'], $lang_login['Login redirect']);


3. user loggs out from your site

in your private  logging out code put this:

include("./forum/config.php");
include("./forum/include/functions.php");
setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array('Guest', 'Guest')), time() + 31536000, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure);


4. user logging out from the forum

find these lines and put your logging out code

setcookie($cookie_name, serialize(array('Guest', 'Guest')), time() + 31536000, $cookie_path, $cookie_domain, $cookie_secure);
/* here your private logging out code */
redirect('index.php', $lang_login['Logout redirect'])
