Yet another integration issue - setting the cookie outside of punBB

Could you link to where you're actually trying this so we can see the output?

Upon some further testing, it appears as though the password hash or cookie may not be setting correctly.

Here is the cookie I set:

Array ( [PHPSESSID] => 55ebbb7f7b2f0fac58ec0b1307d787c3 [punbb_cookie] => a:2:{i:0;s:1:\"3\";i:1;s:32:\"b2284c227a6d556a0befb11610ab88cc\";} )

Then here is the cookie, same user/pass, that is set by punBB:

Array ( [PHPSESSID] => 55ebbb7f7b2f0fac58ec0b1307d787c3 [punbb_cookie] => a:2:{i:0;s:1:"3";i:1;s:32:"82383fe852b9a3bd2444e267ccb48e5f";} )

Minus the slashes....everything lines up except for the last line which I think is the password.

yea, it is.  I was also playing with some different code which I grabbed from the actual login.php page, which I stripped out the things I didn't think were needed:

        $resultforum = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM lpforum_users WHERE username = '$myusername'");
        $rowforum = mysql_fetch_array($resultforum);
       
        define('PUN_ROOT', './members/forum/');
        include("./members/forum/config.php");
        include("./members/forum/include/common.php");
               
        $user_id=$rowforum['id'];
        $db_password_hash = $rowforum['password'];

        $sha1_in_db = (strlen($db_password_hash) == 40) ? true : false;
        $sha1_available = (function_exists('sha1') || function_exists('mhash')) ? true : false;

        $form_password_hash = pun_hash($form_password);    // This could result in either an SHA-1 or an MD5 hash (depends on $sha1_available)

        if ($sha1_in_db && $sha1_available && $db_password_hash == $form_password_hash)
            $authorized = true;
        else if (!$sha1_in_db && $db_password_hash == md5($form_password))
        {
            $authorized = true;

            if ($sha1_available)    // There's an MD5 hash in the database, but SHA1 hashing is available, so we update the DB
                $db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'users SET password=\''.$form_password_hash.'\' WHERE id='.$user_id) or error('Unable to update user password', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
        }

    //if (!$authorized)
        //message($lang_login['Wrong user/pass'].' <a href="login.php?action=forget">'.$lang_login['Forgotten pass'].'</a>');

    // Update the status if this is the first time the user logged in
    if ($group_id == PUN_UNVERIFIED)
        $db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'users SET group_id='.$pun_config['o_default_user_group'].' WHERE id='.$user_id) or error('Unable to update user status', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

    // Remove this users guest entry from the online list
    $db->query('DELETE FROM '.$db->prefix.'online WHERE ident=\''.$db->escape(get_remote_address()).'\'') or error('Unable to delete from online list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

    $expire = ($save_pass == '1') ? time() + 31536000 : 0;
    pun_setcookie($user_id, $form_password_hash, $expire);

It's from here that I am getting the above referenced results.  The cookie_seed is pulling right from the config so I would think it would be the same.  Curiously though, I wonder if the cookie is not transferring when I go into the forums as I do not see anything in the print_r ($_COOKIE) I have in there when I go there from the external page.  That info is:

$cookie_name = 'punbb_cookie';
$cookie_domain = '';
$cookie_path = '/';
$cookie_secure = 0;
