How to call wordpress functions in custom php script

Question

I have a Php script I want to use for creating a new blog in WPMU. I am having trouble calling wordpress functions like "wpmu_create_user" and "wpmu_create_blog".

My hope is to get this script running as a cron job from command line and pick up new blog creation requests from an external db, create a new blog using the wordpress functions and update the db with new blog info.

Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated.

Sid.

Answer 1

include wp-load.php file (in the root of your wordpress installation) in your php script file like so,

require_once("/path/to/wordpress/wp-load.php");

you will have to provide the abspath of the wp-load file, now you can use all the functions of wordpress in your php script
