Hi Ilia,
Just wanted to ask what the login function does.
I had a look in the mysql db and the password looks like a salted md5 hash. Thing is I want to build a login box for the forum so I can use the login function elsewhere on the site.
So what happends actually on login? So I can rebuild it, I guess an salted md5 hash on password which returns a Session Cookie?
thank so much...

The login function takes login and password (cleartext), it then tries to fetch a valid user id based on the combination of a supplied login and md5 hash of the password.
If a match is found the user's session is update (if possible) to mark them as logged in into found user account or a new session is created.

md5 hash is not salted, fudforum uses it's own session system, so $_SESSION super-global is not being used.
