Add User Script in PHP

[Peter Kes]

Hello,

Can someone guide me how to write a PHP script (for vBulletin 4.2.2) that adds a user.
No verification of user required, just add the user.

Thanks for your help,
Peter

Did you check the articles forum? There is an article somewhere in there on adding users.

This should get you started. :)
As @Lynne suggested you should search yourself for a more comprehensive search.

Thank you Lynne and tbworld. I did see thread 82836, but was unable to run it successfully. SInce it was an old thread and I am running 4.2.2 I raised this again.

It did succeed now: I placed this script in the root directory of my vbulletin tree and it now did run, both from a url call as well as from the command line. Thanks for your patience and help.

define('VB_AREA', 'External');
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1);
define('CWD', '/pathtomyvbulletin');
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

$newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$newuser->set('username', 'Auto User');
$newuser->set('email', 'myuser@email.com');
$newuser->set('password', 'verysecret');
$newuser->set('usergroupid', 2);
$newuserid = $newuser->save();

Did you go to the very last page of the thread to see users posting scripts that work with vB4.x?
