user create bridge

[PHPLicengine]

If someone creates an account on our main website we want to create a smf account for them too. Does smf have an API or plugin or we should inject users directly to smf db? If yes what is smf password encryption format?

I created a bridge similar to this by using the smf api to register the user if they aren't found in the smf db,

an example you can alter to your needs:

Code Select Expand

<?php
$user = username variable;
$pass = pass variable;

//smf query, leave as is unless you have different table names
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","password","forum");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `smf_members` WHERE `member_name`='".$user."'";
$res = mysqli_query($con, $sql);

//your main site query, alter to your needs
$con2=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","weed45654","website");
$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`='".$user."' AND `password`='".SHA1($pass)."'";
$res2 = mysqli_query($con2, $sql2);

//if user isn't in smf
if (mysqli_num_rows($res) == 0){
//if user isn't in your website db
if (mysqli_num_rows($res2) == 0){
echo "invalid login";
//otherwise do this
}else{
//register using smf api, using credentials given by user since they check out
$regOptions = array('member_name' => $user, 'password' => $pass);
smfapi_registerMember($regOptions);
//length of login, using remember me checkbox
if (isset($_POST['remember'])){
smfapi_login($user,9);
}else{
smfapi_login($user);
}
//send user to a page
header("Location: /forums/index.php");
}
}

//if user was in smf continue with an smf login, I used smf api but in hindsight ssi would've probably been better
if (smfapi_authenticate($user,$pass)== true){
//length of login, using remember me checkbox
if (isset($_POST['remember'])){
smfapi_login($user,9);
}else{
smfapi_login($user);
}
//send user to a page
header("Location: ".$_POST['loca']);
}

?>
