Is it possible this could be simplified somewhat by using
user_external_login()?

Hi drupal friends
I've written a patch for the ip_login module. It extends the module
with the possiblity to have a "login as an other user" link.
Basically it does the following things:
- Logs out the current user.
- Makes sure ip_login does not straight login again.
- Shows the user login screen.
My code works, but I'm not 100% sure whether it's save to code it like
that. Could someone have an I on it?
/**
* Logs the current user out and start new
session.
*
* Most of the code taken from user_logout()
and _drupal_bootstrap().
*/
function ip_login_as_different_user() {
global $user;
watchdog('user',
'Session closed for %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));
// Destroy the current session:
session_destroy();
// Only variables can be passed by reference
workaround.
$null = NULL;
user_module_invoke('logout',
$null,
$user);
// Load the anonymous user
$user = drupal_anonymous_user();
require_once variable_get('session_inc', './includes/session.inc');
session_set_save_handler('sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read',
'sess_write', 'sess_destroy_sid',
'sess_gc');
session_start();
$_SESSION[LOGIN_AS_DIFFERENT_USER] = TRUE;
// show the login page
drupal_goto('user');
}
Thanks for taking your time!
