Consider the following script.
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd() . "/.."); require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc'; drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); $username = "Silox"; $password = "hidden"; global $user; $account = user_authenticate($username, $password); // Woah, it seems like we don't know this user, let's create him! if (!$account) { $userinfo = array( 'name' => $username, 'pass' => $password, 'init' => $username, 'status' => 1, 'access' => REQUEST_TIME, ); $account = user_save(drupal_anonymous_user(), $userinfo); $account = user_authenticate($username, $password); } $user = user_load($account, TRUE); drupal_session_regenerate(); ?> This script logs me in or creates a new account when the username and password combination doesn’t exist. When I put this script in the base directory of my Drupal installation, everything works perfectly fine.
However, when I put it in the root directory of the PhpBB subdirectory and change the DRUPAL_ROOT to getcwd() . "/.." to compensate for the extra folder, it doesn’t work. If I print out my user array at the end of the function, I get a nice array with corresponding correct info but however, if I return to my Drupal site, I am not logged in.
How can this problem get solved?
