Why couldn't you use your login (weberdev). I.E. when a user creates an account you also push this data onto the phpBB2 db. Find where phpBB is creating a user, analyze the encryption method use, modify your login to create both entries.

You have two choices to maintain the phpBB code base. 1) Rewrite your login to use the phpBB user accounts, or 2) keep both sets of user tables, and write a few functions to call both the phpBB and your user handling code when they're needed. -- John C.
