PHPBB3 Auto-registration

[JohnHarper]

I decided to write a an auto-registration mod for PHPBB3. It is very simple and easy to update. I am sure others can help make it better and more secure.

Add this at the end of /events/processors/join.php

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : 'YOUR ROOT PATH HERE';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.' . $phpEx);
require($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/constants.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
      $user->session_begin();
      $auth->acl($user->data);
      $user->setup();   

$user_row = array(
        'username'                      => $_POST['user'],
        'user_password'                 => $_POST['pass'],
        'user_email'                    => $_POST['email2'],
        'group_id'                      => 2,
        'user_timezone'                 => 1,
        'user_lang'                     => "en",
        'user_type'                     => 0,
        'user_actkey'                   => "",
        'user_ip'                       => "",
        'user_regdate'                  => time(),
        'user_inactive_reason'          => 0,
        'user_inactive_time'            => 0,
);
user_add($user_row, $cp_data);


Make sure errors are turned off in PHPBB3, or else it will halt the script for using POST.

Make sure errors are turned off in PHPBB3, or else it will halt the script for using POST.

Where do I find that? All I can find is

Validate Referrer:
If enabled, the referrer of POST requests will be checked against the host/script path settings. This may cause issues with boards using several domains and or external logins.

Is that it?

The latest versions of PHPBB3 disables the use of superglobals. You can change it in the config.php file of phpbb3, use error_reporting is "0", or even better, I think there are alternatives to the use of Superglobals such as POST provided in documentation.

Using superglobals throws an error and halts the script unless you make the changes above.
