Dokuwiki users: generating from a list

Recently, I had to create a whole bunch of Dokuwiki users from a list. Here is a script I used for the same.

Dokuwiki stores its user info in conf/users.auth.php file. You can generate a list of users from a plain text or other file in this format:


john.doe
jane.doe
john1.doe
jane2.doe


and then run the following PHP script (say, name it, dokuusers.php) and output the result to a text file, and move the files as below:

$ php dokuusers.php > users.txt
(copy-paste the user list here)
$ cat users.txt users.auth.php > users2.auth.php
$ mv users2.auth.php users.auth.php


The dokuusers.php file is below.

<?
/* Customize these lines */
// Company e-mail domain
$companyDomain = "company.com";
// Group(s) to add users to
$groups = "user";
// Function that returns password string
// First example: john.doe has password john11111
function passwd ($string) {
        return $string . "11111";
}

$f = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
while ($line = fgets($f)) {
        $line = trim($line);
        list($first, $last) = explode(".", $line);
        $passwd = md5(passwd($first));
        $name = ucfirst ($first) . " " . ucfirst ($last);
        $email = $line . "@" . $companyDomain;

        echo "$line:$passwd:$name:$email:$groups\n";
}
?>
