Check out wp_insert_attachment() at http://codex.wordpress.org/Fun.....attachment

Small example from John K @ http://stackoverflow.com/quest.....-wordpress:

$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post_data );

$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, $post_id );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );

You can use HTML in the post content, but not PHP. It’s the same as with the post editor: it won’t process PHP, but you can use shortcodes.

is that possible? and if yes, how is it possible?!

It would be very kind of you to help me with that!

I’m looking to add a image attached to the post, or even make it as the thumbnail. Is it possible?

hi there this is all great but is it possible to also create custom fields using this function? And also to assign a template? I want to basically auto create posts by submitting a title and some content, then use database info to complete the post so that we can scale our workload. however the only thing missing is to be able to add a few custom-fields which we need for each post!

thanks

If you need to use a plugin to create forms, then you probably shouln’t be doing things programatically. HTML Forms + jQuery can do much more than GravityForms with not much effort IF you’re a developer. And you can create plugins that don’t have a dependency on a paid plugin.

You have to escape the data probably.
You can use WP function esc_attr
