Import hundreds of users into Joomla! 1.0.15

This useful utility will create Joomla 1.0.15 users from a comma-separated or tab delimited file. A nice little utility originally created by Christopher Garvis the developer. He disappeared off the net one day and took his useful tool with him. I suppose you can call this abandonware... So here it is again. I have fixed a bug with csv file types and removed part of the functionality that was causing memory errors. It does the job it was designed to do.

As long as you can create a file with a CSV suffix each row in the following format:

CSV (*.csv)
anderson,matrix99,Mister Anderson,itsreallyquite@simple.co.uk

TAB (*.txt)
anderson matrix99 MisterAnderson itsreallyquite@simple.co.uk

This utility will be able to import and create your joomla users automatically. It will even email each user automatically. If the user already exists then you can choose to overwrite or fail, it is up to you.

It works on Joomla 1.0.15 and earlier versions, it also works on Joostina 1.2 (tested)

Don't install it on Joomla 1.5/1.6 and even more important, don't run it on Joomla 1.5/1.6! It  has a different table structure and damage could result. You have been warned!
