How to make a user hash

[UnionDatacom]

After hours off trying unsuccessfully to get leadCapture.php to work effectively, I am working on a more-or-less standalone web form that can write directly to the MySQL database, but I am not having much luck. I am having a time trying to duplicate the encryption code Sugar uses outside of Sugar to make new user IDs. But…

I found this bit of code comment in utils.php

/**
 * A temporary method of generating GUIDs of the correct format for our DB.
 * @return String contianing a GUID in the format: aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee
 *
 * Portions created by SugarCRM are Copyright (C) SugarCRM, Inc.
 * All Rights Reserved.
 * Contributor(s): ______________________________________..
*/

Does anyone know a way I could utilize the utils.php to just generate a user ID in the format Sugar likes, without having to use the rest of leadCapture.php. I want to make a simple script to get a user new ID, and then submit all the additional data I need via another application. ???

 $user = new User();
$user->id = create_guid();
$user->new_with_id = true;
$user->last_name = 'Gump';
$user->user_name = 'Forrest';
$user->title = "Forrest Gump";
$user->status = 'Active';
$user->is_admin = 'off';
$user->user_password = $user->encrypt_password("run forrest!");
$user->user_hash = strtolower(md5("run forrest!"));
$user->email = 'forrest@apple.com';
$user->save();

Could someone tell me if the SugarCRM / PHP function call create_guid() provides the same result as shown in the Wiki below?

Looking further, from this URL:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.com-create-guid.php

It appears they are the same, except one (com_create_guid) provides the curly braces around the output?

Thanks in advance!

Yes it does have the same output. However, com_create_guid() is only available on the Windows platform
