// Get the board language
// Insert a minimal user.
$query = "INSERT INTO {$phpbbcfg['db_users']} "
."(`user_id`,`username`,`username_clean`,`user_password`,"
."`user_regdate`,`user_email`,`user_options`,`user_lang`,`user_timezone`,"
."`user_permissions`, `user_sig`, `user_occ`, `user_interests`) "
." VALUES({$edit['uid']},'{$edit['name']}','{$edit['name']}','"
.md5($edit['pass']) ."',". time() .",'{$edit['mail']}','853','$language',$timezone, '', '', '', '')";
$res = db_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . db_error() . " \n" . $query . "\n");
It was missing certain entries in the table that were necessary (user_permissions, user_sig, user_occ and user_interests).
I have not tested how well the delete will work at this point but thats the next thing on my list.

What type of database are
What type of database are you using?
The database should assume the default value for the fields not specified. Either way, you should probably specify NULL instead of '', it'll save phpBB a lot of work.
Maybe you are logged in as the Drupal admin user, which should not exist in phpBB?
database
I'm using MYSQL database.. It looks like that the database doesn't assume any defaults and wants these values. I also looked in the phpbb3 code and they use '' (empty strings) instead of NULL.
No, I didnt logged as an admin. They were users I created after the merger of PHPBB and Drupal.. The standard deletion code doesn't work either.
But anyways, this type of implementation assumes that you don't do any user manipulation from phpbb otherwise, if you delete a user from phpbb with the phpbb admin, and then you try to delete that user from DRUPAL, an error message will occur.. Same with the creation. The code needs to be made more intelligent to deal with those issues.
Strange, maybe a diffference
Strange, maybe a diffference between mysql or mysqli, I am not sure. I have been working off a clean install of phpBB 3 RC4.
Either way, if phpBB does it too then that's good enough for me. I'll include your patch, but I would be happy if someone confirmed the problem. There shouldn't be anything special about the three columns you have added?
I think you are running the code that partially implements user deletion, see http://groups.drupal.org/node/5439
It's a beta, I still change it to try new things. Download a new copy tomorrow.
About the change
You might want to wait before including those changes. I've noticed that after creating an account from drupal, when I get in phpbb and try to find the created user to modify its permissions, it can't find the user. But I did a member listing with the admin and its there.. Something really strange is happening and I think it has to do with an incomplete creation of the phpbb account. We'll have to look in more details as to what phpbb3 is doing before we actually start putting junk in that might cause more harm than good.. Well, its a suggestion anyways.. We need to do more tests..
Is anyone else using MYSQL with DRUPAL 5.2 and PHPBB3 RC4?

Hm, I have just re-tested
Hm, I have just re-tested that part, I can find and modify users just fine throug the Users and Groups tab in the administration control panel.
I will remove the partially implemented deletion code, and leave the rest as is.
For the record, I am consistently using the mysqli library.
MYSQLI
What is the benefit/difference of using mysqli instead of mysql? Speed? Would the "I" at the end stand for INTEGRATED which means you do not need a server running?
The i stands for "improved".
The i stands for "improved". It's faster, but otherwise pretty much the same.
