Combining My Custom Script User Database With WordPress's User Database…?

    Basically, I created a custom script that contains a member database, but when someone signs up with my custom script, I want that user’s account information copied to the WordPress database as well. Just to point out, this isn’t a plugin, this is a script that has nothing to do with WordPress in another folder using it’s own separate database. I just need to know if there is anything special I have to do to copy a user to the WordPress database, and when that user tries to login over at WordPress, they will be able to user the same email/username and password they signed up with over at my custom script?

    Have you browsed the wp_users table? Do you know how to encrypt the user’s password in the same way that WordPress does? I don’t think you can store an unencrypted password into the user_pass field and expect WordPress to recognize it with the user logs in. I don’t know if there’s any documentation regarding how the password is encrypted/decrypted, you may have to dig in the WP code.
