Conflicting global variables - El Forum - 12-26-2008

Hello All,
I am trying to do cross-site sessions with phpbb3 and my site so that the login is only performed once. However trying to accomplish this has been a headache. It seems when I am using working code inside of CI I get errors which I believe are due to same global variables. What can I do to avoid this?
I have read the forums here and at phpbb3 and there were others that brought up this problem but there was no solution.
Thanks.

The quickest solution would be to do a full scope search and prefix all phpBB variables with 'phpBB_'. Search for words beginning with '$', [', [", ->. I haven't had a look at phpBB, but if you can crack down public variables and globals - all the better.
Additionally, you could also implement namespaces (cleanest solution) but that'd likely take too much time.

I was really hoping that it wouldn't come to renaming every variable.. but I am unfamiliar with namespaces (atleast in php) so I'll probably be changing the variables if I don't find out anything relatively soon.
