How to use Moodle API or Moodle functions in Drupal?

I have installed a Moodle instance on a server and a Drupal instance on the same server. But, they both use different domains.

drupal.example.com (running Drupal 7.44) (hosted on Server A)
www.example.net/moodle (running Moodle 2.6.2) (hosted on same server as above)

Requirement: I want to use Moodle functions in Drupal. I want to let my Moodle users login to Drupal using their Moodle credentials.

The user, who has logged into Drupal using their Moodle credentials, should have access to their Moodle courses on Drupal.

My approach: Include Moodle configuration file in a external PHP file (hosted on Drupal site), send AJAX requests to the PHP file to authenticate users, get list of courses and other information from Moodle to Drupal.

I'm still working on the requirement. Wondering if there is any simple approach to meet this requirement.

You are on the right track, I have also implemented not same but similar solution so that user can auto login to moodle if they login to another system. I am sharing my code if it can help you:-

<?php 


require('config.php');
$name=strtoupper($_REQUEST['username']);
$password=$_REQUEST['password'];
$dashboard = $CFG->wwwroot;
$user = authenticate_user_login($name, $password);
if(complete_user_login($user))
{   
    $actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/moodlevxl/login/logout.php?sesskey=".$user->sesskey;

       header("http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]");
       ?>
       <script>
           location.href = "Your callback url";
       </script>
       <?php
    //print_r($_COOKIES);
//echo "login";
}
else
{
   echo "not login"; die;
}



?>

There is no simple solution to this requirement. Still, you can achieve this.

  1. Customize Moodle UI as Drupal.
  2. Implement SSO with Moodle.
  3. Add a link to the course list on your Drupal dashboard.

For SSO and other web services refer this link.

Moodle has a very extensive set of webservices for exactly this use case and there are a few ways of achieving SSO between the two systems if you take a look around.
