MyBB password encryption

[XAOS-Eric]

Hi,
I'm integrating mybb with whmcs so when a user registers, they are also registered in mybb instead of just whmcs. How does mybb encrypt passwords as I would need to make a plugin for whmcs that takes a field called username, the email form, and the password form and insert them into the mybb database.

You might build an array of data, including the username, the email and the password, and let the validator do all the hard work for you.

require_once  MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/user.php";
$userhandler = new UserDataHandler("insert");
$user = array("username" => $username,
    "password" => $password,
    "password2" => $password,
    "email" => $email,
    "email2" => $email,
    // ... (extra fields)
);
$userhandler->set_data($user);
if($userhandler->validate_user()) {
    $newuser = $userhandler->insert_user();
    // do whatever you want with the $newuser array. It contains the new user's data.
}

----- EDIT ------
Also, MyBB stores password without encryption, passwords are hashed using the md5 digest algorithm. The formula looks like this:

$hashedpsw = md5(md5($salt).md5($plainpassword));
/* $salt = random 8-chars long string
 * $plainpassword = the password in plain text
 * $hashedpsw = the hashed password
 */

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll keep that in mind. I don't know how whmcs encrypts passwords though, id like to do it so when a user changes their password in whmcs, it updates in the mybb database as well. Unless, I use mybb to store the billing profiles, and have whmcs use the mybb login table. Once I get a plugin working that works with whmcs, I'll release it so others looking to do the same will be able to.

Edit: Would it be easier to handle registration on the mybb side, and use WHMCS API to insert the data? http://docs.whmcs.com/API:Add_Client
