hi Ahmet,

Mate I suspect that directly accessing Moodle's database tables is the last thing you want to be doing.

If you're looking to enrol students from an external system you want to check out the use of enrolment plugins (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Enrolment_plugins)... allowing you to automatically enrol students in courses based on data in your external db, ldap directory, etc...

The suggestion is nearly always to adopt processes that will protect your upgrade path and maintain integrity of disparate systems... plugins are a much better way to go than the alternative.wink





Good luck,

MC

Good answer. I would add that using the API functions is OK too.

This one is particularyl useful for this case:

enrol_into_course($course, $user, $enrol);

(in lib/accesslib.php)

How exactly do we use this function? I put together the following:

<?php
require_once('../lib/accesslib.php');
require_once('../lib/dmllib.php');
enrol_into_course($course=84, $USER=22, $enrol='manual');
?>

The obvious goal is to quickly enrol user with id 22 into course with id 84 but to little effect

$course and $user are objects, and $USER is already defined as the current user, so your code should look more like this:


require_once('../config.php'); // Includes all the Moodle libraries you need

require_login(); // Makes sure the user is logged in

$course = get_record('course', 'id', 84); // Gets the course object with the given id

if ($course) {
enrol_into_course($course, $USER, 'manual'); // ta da
} else {
print_error('coursenotfound');
}

?>
