If you're already using PHP and have an authenticated user, the best approach would be to try to set a SquirrelMail key cookie in your code before you redirect to SM. You could rip out most of the needed code from src/redirect.php and then just redirect to src/webmail.php. If directory path issues prevent your other application from setting the cookie in the right place (path), then you can add some code to the top of src/webmail.php that catches un-logged-in (to SquirrelMail) users and get their credentials from your other application and do the work there to set up SM. Yet another possibility that may be less work is to modify src/redirect.php to work with credentials from your other application instead of the typical POST data from the login page. This all is probably possible to do as a SM plugin (please share with the community). > where $user is the username and $pw is the password (this is a snip from > some PHP that I use). > > I also do a target=_blank to bring it up in a new window. > > I would be interested in hearing from others to see if this is the "right" > way to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
