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

[Paul]

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;
	}
