Adding Users from Another Application
-
Hey All,
I’m trying to figure out how to add users from another application, using the fields on my BP register form.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.

I’m adding users based on signup to my own application.
For instance a new users signs up to my site, I then use curl posts to add them to additional pieces of software such as our support desk, mailing list, and in this case community.
$fields_string = “”;
$url = ‘http://community.mysite.com/no-idea-what-url-to-post-to.php’;
$fields = array (‘signup_username’ => urlencode($username), ‘signup_email’ => urlencode($email), ‘signup_password’ => urlencode($password), ‘signup_password_confirm’ => urlencode($password), ‘field_1’ => urlencode($username), ‘signup_profile_field_ids’ => urlencode(1));
foreach($fields as $key => $value) {
$fields_string .= $key.’=’.$value.’&’;
}
rtrim ($fields_string, ‘&’);
$ch = curl_init ();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count ($fields));
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
$results = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);If there’s a better way, please advise, everything is on the same server so I can include specific files to do a more API style function, just can’t seem to find any reference material that tells me what I need to know.
I found a post on WordPress.org on using the
wp_create_user ($username, $password, $email)
function, but I can’t seem to find a way to implement it for an outside application.
There really needs to be an external API.
Anyway, appreciate the help
