    If I had a website with multiple services/applications that require a login on it (like an answers portal, a forum and a general social network etc.), how could I create a login form that logs into all of those things? If you don't understand, what I mean is if you log into Google, it logs you into all of their services (like Gmail, Webmaster Tools, Blogger etc.). How would I do this in PHP and MySQL?

    Store user data in one database, and share it with all the service. Use secure cookies to store user info for consistent login across different services (if on different web servers and domain) ..

    So lets say I have a PHPBB forum and a custom made answers script for example, would I place the same database name and password in the them both?

    I do not more but I think "One nice feature when using WHMCS is that the end user can use one login for account management and billing and support. The only other login is for your control panel. As well, as far as I know, Hsphere customers use just one login for everything - site management, account management, billing and support." will help you.

    Hi...

    Use a common method for storing User-name, Password and other user details. You may use a centralized database for all services. You can use proxy method between all domains/services to share user info. If possible, you may edit user authentication of CMS. But this method is a hard to implement method.

        $this->Content = str_replace("\n", "", $this->Content);
        $this->Content = str_replace("\r", "", $this->Content);
        $GALX = $this->FieldVal('GALX'); //find hide GALX
	    $dsh = $this->FieldVal('dsh'); // find hide dsh
