I want to append 200+ new users (students) to forum members list. I have their first and last name, password (from school database) and Ident#. My idea is as follows: 1. Append new field for Ident# in FORUM_MEMBERS table 2. Generate user name (5 chars) from ther first and family name 3. Encrypt their passwords with SHA256() funct. from inc_sha256.asp 4. Store all of the above (encrypted pass, fname, lname, ident#) in the FORUM_MEMBERS table.
Is there anything alse I must do? Any other fields to fill in?
