Create Drupal User programatically (with profile field values)
Create Drupal User programatically (with profile field values) 8 CommentsWhile i was working on a project recently, i needed to create user accounts programatically through my own module, save some profile fields information and also assign a role to these new users.
After studying the User Module Hook and the Profile Module functions i got this working with the code below:
<?php
/**
* Date dd/mm/yyyy
* Creates a user with profile values.
*
* @param $data
* $_POST data for example.
*
* @return
* $user Object.
*/
function my_module_create_user($data) {
// Drupal User module function that generates MD5 hash password
$pass = user_password();
$newuser = array(
'name' => $data['name'],
'mail' => $data['mail'],
'status' => 1, // Sets user as Active
'pass' => $pass
);
$auto_user = user_save('', $newuser);
$rid = 4; // Assign Role ID
$uid = $auto_user->uid;
db_query('INSERT INTO {users_roles} (uid, rid) VALUES (%d, %d)', $uid, $rid);
// Populates profile values
$profile = array(
'firstname' => $data['firstname'],
'lastname' => $data['lastname'],
'company' => $data['company'],
'address' => $data['address'],
'city' => $data['city'],
'state' => $data['state'],
'country' => $data['country'],
'phone' => $data['phone'],
);
// Adds details under Personal Information Category set in Profile
profile_save_profile($profile, $auto_user, 'Personal Information');
// Load the new user Object
$account = user_load(array('uid' => $auto_user->uid, 'status' => 1));
global $user;
$user = $account;
drupal_set_message(t('You have been authenticated'));
db_query("UPDATE {users} SET login = %d WHERE uid = %d", time(), $user->uid);
sess_regenerate();
// Finally send an Email
/*
* Mail templates available:
* register_no_approval_required
* register_admin_created
* register_pending_approval - Need to set Status above as 0 if this option is required
*/
drupal_mail('user', 'register_no_approval_required', variable_get('site_mail', ini_get('sendmail_from')), language_default(), $params);
// Set the redirection to where you want
drupal_goto('home');
}
?>

Figured out the Roles can be added inside the $newuser array thus:
$newuser = array( 'name' => $data['name'], 'mail' => $data['mail'], 'status' => 1, // Sets user as Active 'pass' => $pass, $roles => array('authenticated user', 'some other role'), );instead of doing it separately
Many thanks that is exactly what I was trying to do
Thank you, I was looking for that. This is perfect, includes email, authentication, destination... COOL. Thanks.
It is unclear how it works ?
Create a user ?
Where?
How it works?
Look like nothing happened after run your code.
How to create profile after registration form is submitted ?
This can be done easily with the rules module as well.
@Mark. The profile variable stores the values to create the profile. I am running this inside my own custom module. But Try Rules Module. Much more easier
Thanks a lot for this. But do I have to include any files in this script? I'm including "./includes/bootstrap.inc" but it can't recognize some of the functions like user_password().
If you trying this outside of a module then you have to include this:
require_once('./includes/bootstrap.inc'); drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); global $theme_key, $custom_theme; $custom_theme = variable_get('theme_default', 'main'); init_theme();Minor correction on adding roles inside the $newuser array:
$newuser = array( 'name' => $data['name'], 'mail' => $data['mail'], 'status' => 1, // Sets user as Active 'pass' => $pass, 'roles' => array('authenticated user', 'some other role'), );Great tip! Thanks!
