I'm creating an application where an email is retrieved through a POST variable and a user is automatically created with a random password and everything. I got that part down. However after the user is created, how do I log the user in. As in, I assume I have to create a session right?

How would I go about doing this?

And I know how unsafe this is, but it is what the client wants.

I found the solution: How to log into joomla through an external script?
