PHP question

[Coolprogram]

Hey, I was wondering how I could connect my login page to phpBB? By this, I mean how do I make my web page so that already registered users can login just by entering my site and not having to go into a forum? Oh, and how can I make the login change to something like: Welcome Coolprogram?
Thanks in advance

I do not quite understand what you are looking for... Are you saying that when people leave the site, it does not log them out? (cookies). Or are you hoping to put a login form on your main page?

If the latter, then all you need is a simple html form like this:

<form action="login.php" method="post" target="_top">
Username: <input class="post" name="username" size="25" maxlength="40" value="" type="text"><br />
Password: <input class="post" name="password" size="25" maxlength="32" type="password">
</form>

If your login.php page is located elsewhere, just change the action="login.php" appropriately.

Let me know if you need any more help.

It depends on what phpbb version you're using.
There's not much info about the phpbb3 login system, (in terms of simple guides) as its just been created persé, and I don't think the login class is the same as phpbb2.

However, there's lots of info for phpbb2.
A quick google reveals:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1532.html
http://www.phpbb2.de/ftopic29691.html
http://www.programmingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=10403

EDIT: I think phpbb2's user info is stored in $userdata array.

Well I am going to check out those links that you gave me, and I am using PHPBB3, and I want a login on my main page, without using IFRAME or anything, then I want them to stay logged in, I know the part where they stay logged in are with cookies, but IDK about the actual login part. THanks,
