How To Post Articles To Wordpress Programmatically?

Question

Wondering is there a way so that you can post an article to Wordpress directly from your own PHP code. I want to post in my own standalone wordpress from my php page which should call the hosted wordpress 2.8.6 version and post an article with images (create thumbnail automatically). Is it possible?

Uses Wordpress's existing XMLRPC functions: Post on your WordPress blog using PHP

Answer 3

global $user_ID;
$post = array();
$post['post_type']    = 'post';
$post['post_content'] = 'Put your post content here';
$post['post_author']  = $user_ID;
$post['post_status']  = 'publish';
$post['post_title']   = 'Your Post Title';
$postid = wp_insert_post ($post);
if ($postid == 0) 
  echo 'Oops!';
else
  echo 'Snazzy!';
