Open Source PhP forums and registration

[vanyok]

Hey guys, I'm in the process of making my web site and wanted to know...Once I integrate some open source PhP Forum is it possible to make Forums Database a primary web site member Database ? So I could have users log into their accounts, track possible orders etc...Just trying to avoid extra work of creating registration pages, DBs...Also.. would you possiby recommend some good SQL/PHP open source recourses for this ? ( creating member login/pages )

You can do whatever you want, you just have to know how to write the code. If you want your website to use that table as the member table, then take a look at the structure of the table and use the appropriate fields in your own code.
