Hello,
I tried to login a user after a commerce order completion but with no luck.
I am new in drupal programming.
In rules i load a user variable which is a replicate of commerce-order:owner.
Then i use this in an "Execute custom PHP code" action:

global $user;
$user = user_load($user->uid);
drupal_session_regenerate();

and the user doesn't login.

But when i use this code:

global $user;
$user = user_load(183); //183 a sample uid
drupal_session_regenerate();

The user logged in regularly.

How this can work?

Hi,
You can do this by using following way.
$account = array('uid' => $account->uid);
user_login_submit(array(), $account);

as in drupal 7, user_external_login has no longer exist so it should work in your case.
Thanks,
Anil

But is it safe to login programatically to a Drupal 7 site using a custom PHP file which bootstraps Drupal and gets login credentials via a POST request? Thanks.

Isn't it safer to login using the Drupal login form?

$uid = user_authenticate($username, $password);

$user = user_load($uid);

$form_state = array();
$form_state['uid'] = $uid;
user_login_submit(array(), $form_state);
