interfacing vb with other php

Is it possible to use the member base from vb with other php and cgi in order to allow members only to see them?

Yes it is possible. I've created a comment system for my site that allows only register vbulletin forum users on my site to post comments. An exmaple can be found @ http://www.ironfist.net/reviews/view.php?id=1

I am curious too

interfacing with other php was fairly easy with some help.
Doing it with a cgi is a different story. It is possible, but only if you start from scratch. I have been fumbling for two weeks over that and by what I got, it is impossible to do it for existing members since the password is encrypted in MD5.
Unless you have every one update that password thru usercp or click on a link so you could catch that non MD5 yet password and crypt it...
I have a great news system on my site, very powerful, that I will have to give up because of that.

I have successfully written code for both PHP4 and PERL 5 (and they said it couldn't be done...) that tests an entered username and password with that registration files of the installed vbulletin database on the same site. The examples are as follows...

Register at http://www.ironfist.net/forum/


To test the PHP script goto.. and look on the lower middle section for comments...

To test the PERL/CGI script goto.. and look on the lower middle section... enter only a username and password..

http://www.ironfist.net/test/index.cgi

If you're interested you may e-mail me.. jon@ironfist.net or drop me a PM here.. I'm not sure if I'll make it publicly available as yet.

doing so for a fresh user is very easy.
updating password is doable
implementing it for an entire existing member database is the challenge.

First of all.. it doesn't intercept vBulletin's password program and write to a flat file. It reads directly from the vBulletin database. Next up, I have just finished a password change script using PERL 5. it is viewable @ http://www.ironfist.net/test/index2.cgi
