Sorry to drag this thread back up but I'd
appreciate some insight into the
login API and whether my approach has any chance of working or if I'm
barking up the wrong tree.
I'm trying to write a modification for phpBB2 that would allow any
successful login to phpBB2 to automatically login to the mediawiki install
on the same domain.
I was successful in using the code below to get the server to login using
the user and password supplied in the phpBB2 login BUT I quickly realised
that the cookie information was being associated with the server IP and not
back to the users browser.
So, my question is can I use the API in media wiki this way or am I
completely out to lunch here?
Any help would be appreciated.

You're better using an auth plugin. I'm sure there's already one for
PhpBB login.
