Hi everyone. I am in the process of making my site and the whole site is basically a members only site therefore i am making a Members login. I have no trouble making the Members login. The one thing i am having trouble with is figuring out how if at all possible can i connect the members login to the forum login so that members do not have to login twice. this is a very vital part of my site and any input is greatly appreciated.

Forum and members area login handler (PHP)
You can use cookies or sessions. I don't know what you built or how you build it, but I'm assuming you are using server side language with database, so you are familiar with those.
So just use a variable that hold value which is tells the forum and the members area that the client is logged in.
For example.
- Enjoy, and good luck.

session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['logged'])) {
/* The Page... */
} else {
echo "This is a members area, please login.";
/* Login form */
