   I am building a script that creates new users and I need access to the functions within registration.php.

   I have tried just including this file, but then get undefinded function get_userdatabylogin() and it seems I need to include a whole load of other files. Is there just one file I can include so I can perform the functions within registration.php?

   The code I am trying to execute from my external script looks like this:

   <?php
   require_once('wp-includes/registration.php');
   
   $user_name = "new_user";
   $user_email = "email@email.com";
   
   $user_id = username_exists( $user_name );
   if ( !$user_id ) {
   	$random_password = wp_generate_password( 12, false );
   	$user_id = wp_create_user( $user_name, $random_password, $user_email );
   } else {
   	$random_password = __('User already exists.  Password inherited.');
   }
   ?>

   And I am using WordPress version 2.9.2.

   I've also tried including wp-admin/admin.php to no avail.

   Perfect, yes that did help thanks.

   require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php');

   ..was the line of code I was looking for.
