Past few days I have been looking for a way to have a real single sign on 
between mediawiki and phpbb. I wanted the login state in phpbb to dictate that 
in mediawiki.
I got it working.

If you logout of phpbb, you logout of mediawiki, if you login to phpbb you are 
then logged into mediawiki.

In mediawiki I have it checking the session of phpbb and doing an auto log.

BUT THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE:
I had to replace every instance of User (Class) in every mediawiki file with 
mw_User because phpbb also has a user class.

I know a lot of people have asked about this. It is possible, but it is a ton 
of work. 

This is nothing short of a hack, but for anyone interested, I though I would 
share.
