I just set up a MyBB forum. I have a site that I want to provide other features to such as saving text. But to do so I need user credentials. So I am wondering if I can leverage the forum's user management system to see if a user is logged in and what group he is in.
My domain structure is like this: http://www.mainsite.com/forum
I am using PHP. I have no problem querying the forum's database but do I get logged in status from a session value? What should I include in my PHP files?
Thanks!
You're looking for an authentication bridge aka a way to use one system's authentication api in another.
