[wp-hackers] Updating a User Record via PHP?

[Mike Schinkel]

Paul:

Thanks. Yeah I've reviewed (and actually single-step debugged though) that code but haven't been able to isolate why it is inserting rather than adding.  Wishing the update function didn't overload insert so that it would fail rather than insert.  

Based on your comments it's probably a missing ID somehow.  I'll dive in a try to tackle it again. Thanks.

Mike,

Pretty simple. Look at the function 'wp_insert_user' in wp-includes/ 
registrations.php
The code checks id the ID is present from the structure passed into  
the function.

function wp_insert_user($userdata) {
	global $wpdb;

	extract($userdata, EXTR_SKIP);

	// Are we updating or creating?
	if ( !empty($ID) ) {
		$ID = (int) $ID;
		$update = true;
	} else {
		$update = false;
	}

Further down in the same function:

	if ( $update ) {
		$wpdb->update( $wpdb->users, $data, compact( 'ID' ) );
		$user_id = (int) $ID;
	} else {
		$wpdb->insert( $wpdb->users, $data + compact( 'user_login' ) );
		$user_id = (int) $wpdb->insert_id;
	}
