Not even sure if this is the right spot for this post but here goes.

Hi, I need to make a script that will enable someone to register for two different scripts. One is an Ikonboard, another is a PHP script. Right now you would have to register for both.

What I am hoping to do (with a little help maybe...) is have a form that will send a username and password to a script that will then foward this info to the Ikonboard register.cgi and to the PHP scripts register thing.

The script would take the user/pass info and submit to both of the other scripts. This would have the new user registered for both now, at the same time.

I realize the cookies route is probably the best way to go with this, but far too complicated for what I am looking for.

Anyone have any experience in doing this? Anyone have a script laying around that will do this?

Thanks!

There are quite a bit of options here. One is to hack up ikonboard so that it can use the same database as your php script, or vice versa hack the php script to use the ikonboard database. Otherwise it wouldn't be hard to have perl/php/python script do this, so long as the register from ikonboard and your php script don't require much interaction. Just some ideas...
