And that you've got to be VERY careful about who can access this script, and how they access it, and what it can do, right? First, if this is a shared server, then you REALLY shouldn't do this, because then *ANY* user can write a PHP script to create a new username/password. Bad Idea. You'll first need to test a 'sudo' script that allows the PHP user to execute that command. You'll want that script executable *ONLY* by the PHP user, not the whole world. Some things to consider: Make it a two-stage process, where a script just puts the names and encrypted passwords in a database. Then, a human reviews the list of new users to make sure they all match up with, say, paid accounts, and approves the list. Then, you have to find a way to insert the user with encrypted pass to your system instead of havine the system re-encrypt the encrypted password. But that's safer than just blindly adding users because somebody managed to run a PHP script.
