Create new user from outside VB

[Thronx]

Hi all,

I have php/asp pages on another part of my site where I sign up new members. I've sorted out some of the integration between my database and vB's, however I need some direction about how to create a new vB user myself, populating the necessary database tables. I kindof get what I need to create in many of the vB tables, however there are still some missing bits.

In particular, new password generation. I see it has to do with a hash and something else. I need the routine where the new user is written to the database and the password is encoded.

I've been wandering around the code for a while, but am a little lost. Any suggestions, tips, or thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Cheers, Jeffrey
