[How to] Add a User to WordPress Programmatically

In a recent development project, I had to add a user to WordPress programmatically because I had no WP user data but only access to FTP. If this is your case, here is the code I used to add myself to the WordPress users:

<?php 
/* Add user to wordpress programmatically */
$user_name = "wpadmin";
$user_email = "[email protected]";
$user_pass = "1234";
$user_id = username_exists( $user_name );
if ( !$user_id and email_exists($user_email) == false ) {
    $random_password = $user_pass; // Alternate : wp_generate_password( $length=5, $include_standard_special_chars=false );
    $user_id = wp_create_user( $user_name, $random_password, $user_email );
} else {
    $random_password = __('User already exists.  Password inherited.');
}
print $random_password;
