Ok, you have three sites and you want to use one login for all of them?If yes, you want all the users to be able to do that or only you?And did you code them yourself or are they some kind of CMS's?

U may have to re-edit the entire source to use a common database. As far as I know is, all the three uses different database structure to store information. It's a critical task re-editing the source.
I suggest to learn the database structure, using phpMyAdmin or something like that.
Once done, try to edit the code to use the same table for atleast username and password fields.

And, there's no definite solution ...unless u experiment with it.

I think that would be the way to do it. The thing is though is that all three systems will use a different database, and the likelihood is that all three databases will have a slightly different name for things, eg in one system the persons name might be called "username" but in another it might be called "user" so that would need a lot more effort. Also if there are say 4 fields in one database table and if one has 6 then there will be more effort needed!

Its definately possible, i dont think i would have the time to do it myself as ive got college exams up and coming, but im sure either someone here can do it or you can find yourself a freelance coder on the internet somewhere, that would cost though.

The first thing to do is find out how the databases work, make a list of the database and then the table name and then the fields in that table and that will be the starting point, if youre lucky all three systems will use similar field names. That will get you the login/logout and register parts, the next part will be keeping the user logged in untill they choose to log out, depending on what the variables are called within the code that might be a bigger job to do as it might mean that every ".php" file will need to be edited. But the database structure is the first thing to think about!

You can post the structure of the database, not the content, on the forums and someone might be able to help, if you need help on finding ut the structure then just ask!

Unfortunately i havent much experience with any kind of modifying so i dont think ill be a lot of help! Though i belive sme guys/girls on these forums have got experience in big modifying jobs so they might be able to help!
