Create Users from outside vB

[Earendil]

With the 'new' password system.. how would I go around creating a user from outside the forum?
Like.. I have this signup form for a membersystem (which uses vBulletin's auth system) and I want that upon completion of the form a forum account is automatically created for them.

How would I do this?

Check out register.php starting at this line:

PHP Code:

// ############################### start add member ###############################
if ($_POST['do'] == 'addmember')
{ 


Also, vB passwords are now hashed as so:

PHP Code:

$salt = fetch_user_salt(3);
$hashedpassword = md5(md5($_POST['password']) . $salt); 


fetch_user_salt(); is defined in /includes/functions_user.php, heres the code from that file:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start makesalt #######################
// generates a totally random string of $length chars
function fetch_user_salt($length = 3)
{
    $salt = '';
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++)
    {
        $salt .= chr(rand(32, 126));
    }
    return $salt;
}

Since the function files don't do anything unless their functions are called you could just include them into your extrenal script, I think.
