Creating hundereds of users with random usernames and passwords

[jme]

Hi all,

I am in the middle of writing some software for students at a college - this software is to give them simple multiple choice questions - however I want to create accounts for all of the students so that I don't have to write a 'create account' script so that I know all students have only one account etc...

What I was hoping to do was give each student a logon id in the form of psych0001, psych0002 etc and a randomly generated password.

I would like a script that would generate these, submit them to the database, and then print them to the screen so that I can print them out and give to the students.

Many thanks.

Jamie 🙂

Have you attempted to try this yourself? From the sound of it, it should be fairly basic if you are able to write software.
