        <title>Off-Forum Check if User is Logged In? PLEASE HELP!!!</title>
        <description> I really need to know something...

My forums are in the /forums directory of my website.
When a visitor visits my index.php (the first page of my website), which is NOT inside the /forums directory, how can I make it check IF the user is logged into my forums?

I need a way to check the cookies or something.

IF the user is online{
echo &amp;quot;you are logged in (username of member)&amp;quot;;
}
else
echo &amp;quot;You are not logged in!&amp;quot;;

how can I do that? PLEASE, I really need this help!
Please give me a full, hopefully working code!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ And make sure to set the cookie path setting in the general settings of Phorum to &quot;/&quot;, so the cookie will be returned at that level by your browser. I think it&#039;s Phorum&#039;s default to use &quot;/&quot;, so you&#039;re probably okay there.]]></description>
