Combining two MySQL databases

Visitors register, and also gain access to forum

[Wonderstuff]

Some help please - I'm a newbie to PHP and MySQL.

I have a site with a membership section, contolled using PHP and Mysql. So visitors register, the script collects data including passwords etc, and visitors access content.

I now want to add a forum - let's say phpBB. How can I integrate registration info from my registration db, so that visitors automatically have access to the BB?

Big job, or pretty straight forward?

Very many thanks.

Hello,
Hmmm not so easy
At least w/out a good PHP MySQL understanding

You should check on the PHPBB's forum

Usually it is done the other way around
First load PHPBB then use the PHPBB member registration/authentication system as your main site registration doorway.
Pock around it has been done many times and info has to be available.

PHPBB has been known to have a few "holes"
so be sure to D-load the most updated one and check for security patches. if it comes from your ISP: bug them till they will patch it!
