auto login script

I am trying to find a way to create a page, which when browsed to will set the cookie, I have the username and password from another database already in that page, then when cookie is set it redirects to the index of the forum with the user logged in. This really should be simple but i cant seem to figure it out. Can someone give me a hand?

Is the data duplicated in the Phorum database?

yes, i found the userinterface script from here and it worked great, it was close to what i had been trying and had problems getting it to work and then realized the password i was sending to it was already encrypted so i sent it clean and it worked perfectly. Had i figured this out beforehand my own script would have worked. Anyway this script has some other features which are great. I am not sure why i didn't see it before when i was searching but i found it and i thank the author very much for his offering this to us.

Look at mod "remember_username"

it should help you along.
