i've encountered dozens of php forum scripts all over this site but it couldn't find one that meets what i need

I have a website with a MySQL database and a users table in it. Users authenticate and use the website features like any other site on the planet.

Now i want my site to have a forum for users to disscuss in a way that the forum also uses the same 'users' table as the rest of the site. In a way that when a user logs in on the site he is able to use the forum too.

Can someone give me some advice finding a script that does this nicely? I would appreciate it most

It could even be a forum script that uses no authentication at all! In this case i would implement the authentication into the forum myself..

Thanks in advance!

Hello vLx, Welcome to HotScripts!

Today we approved a new listing which maybe of some use to you. It already has a user authentication system in place but its simply developed and you can freely edit it as you wish as it is open source.

HotScripts / PHP / PHP Forum Project.

Take a look and see what you think. Hope this helps.

Hello vLX,

Most popular discussion forum application have login bridges or API that you can leverage to develop cross-authentication that uses your existing membership database. With vBulletin for instance, it is extremely easy to achieve that and we use it at HotScrits to cross-authenticate members from our directory database to this forum.
