Need some input

viper21634

Ok, i need some input, i run a med. sized local information site, we are currently redesigning, but we are using some off the shelf apps, like phpBB2, AzDgDating, DeltaScripts PHPClassifieds, and PHPAuctions. Now, i need to combine the logins for all the scripts, now, should i code a login/reg script that creates a user for each DB and makes the session vars and cookies, or, should i create a new db for user info, and recode each app to use that db?? I have been thinking about it for a while, but i dont know what to do, just wnating some input from other coders.

Thanks guys

I dont actually recommend what you are doing but that doesnt mean you cant do it.

You should probably create a seperate database just for users. And try as much as possible to make it look the same for all the apps you are running on your site.

It wont be an easy task, but you'll then need to edit every users function in each app. Which i think would take you a very long time. Especially with PHPBB.

Other than that if you give you may as well create your own.
