Joomla 1.5 User Import Script

joomla_user_import.php

<?php
    
    /*
        Script to bulk import users into a Joomla installation (v 1.5.7).
        
        This script is free to use, modify and distribute,
        however is comes with absolutely no guarantees!
        
        Be careful and check everything in here before running
        it on your installation - has little to no error checking and is 
        in no shape or form robust...
        And of course MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
        
        That said, I do hope it is useful, Paul.

Super little script! Works exactly as described!! Now... I wish it was that easy to upgrade to Joomla V 3.x
