I program in php. I work for a site that uses IPB. I was working on a program that has bit the dust over the weekend when ver 3.2 (?) IPB was installed. I know nothing about IPB. I looked at the manual, but it contains nothing useful. I need to log a person into ipb, and check if someone is logged in in my php program. Can someone help?

Would you please provide a link to your forum? IPS has not released a V3.2. 3.1.1 is now the latest version.

Thanks Martin,
As I have said "I know nothing about IPB." They wont help me. I work for runehq.net it's probably ver 3.1.1 as you have said, but that's not the problem. I have inherited some code that links to IPB. It used API_memeber.php to do the linking needed to log in from the code I'm working on/ SEE header on API_memeber.php:

When the board was updated this no longer worked. I would like to -
1. check to see if a user is logged into the IP board.
2. have code in my php program to let users log into the board if they are not logged in.
3. quarry the IPB database to collect information on my user.

Any help or a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Without having access to your forum or its ACP I really can't say, for sure, however if you have just upgraded the board it is most likely mods or hooks that were installed to perform these actions that will also need to be upgraded to work with the current version of IPB you are running in order to get them back to functioning as they did before.

This is most commonly what happens in board upgrades as the manually edited files that were done original for the hook to function have been over written and no longer have the mod or hooks changes that were originally made.
