Hi, i'm trying to intergrate Phpbb into my existing site script. so far i've installed phpbb into ratemy_rater db with the prefix phpbb all i need to do is accomplish two things.

1. what scripts do i have to edit in phpbb so that it will user the members in the "rater_members" table instead of "phpbb_users".

2. i also need to know if there user_id and username field name is set as a global array in phpbb. so i can just change that to m_id and m_user.

everything else i can figure out, like moving all the fields in the phpbb_users table to rater_members and then do the authentication.

if you change phpbb's script to use your existing script's table, you probably have to fix every single files / tons of lines in phpBB script. If your existing script is small and you are familar with it, then you should combine your script's table user with the phpbb's table user and use this newly created table for both scripts.
