Cookies / SessID?

I'm creating a closed-door community for some close friends of mine. I'd like to have one login for the site, and have that login be used for the site AND phorum. Everything is working fine so far until I came across the fact that phorum uses SessID's, which I haven't read up on yet :)

Nonetheless, where is the code for phorum where the SessID's are assigned, and cookies created, so that I may be able to replicate it and have the cookie created before the user even touches the message board?

Thanks for any help.

I have been asking for this since last year, so if you get it let me know. would save me a ton of headaches.

Here :

md5($username.$password.microtime());

That will make the same session ID that phorum uses.

And when you make that var, put it in a cookie:

SetCookie("phorum_auth", "$sessid", time()+86400*365);

And make sure you update your database!

update phorum_auth set sess_id='$sessid' where id=$userid";

"phorum_auth" is site specific, and as this code is not a good *patch* of some sort, its a makeshift model to replicate the cookie phorum uses, for your site, if your willing to edit the code yourself.
