Hi All,
The following code works for Programmatically creating nodes with ImageFields in Drupal 5 but i need to save for Drupal 6. In Drupal 6 , how can I get it working as the CCk image filed is now filefield. Can anyone help to get it working in Drupal 6?

  $node = new StdClass();
  $node->type = 'official_photo';
  $node->title = t('Sample official photo');
  $node->taxonomy[4] = 15; // Candid shots gallery
  $file_temp = file_get_contents('./profiles/multisite/files/official-photo.png');
  $file_temp = file_save_data($file_temp, file_directory_path() .'/official_photos/official-photo.png', FILE_EXISTS_RENAME);
  $node->field_photo = array(
    array(
      'fid' => 'upload',
      'title' => basename($file_temp),
      'filename' => basename($file_temp),
      'filepath' => $file_temp,
      'filesize' => filesize($file_temp),
    ),
  );
  $node->uid = 1;
  $node->status = 1;
  $node->active = 1;
  $node->promote = 1;
  node_save($node);

Thanks in advance.

Did you first export/import the content type, and ensure the imagefield module was enabled?

For some reason I make it working in this simple way:

<?php
      $filepath = file_directory_path() . '/images/'. $image;
      if (file_exists($filepath)) {
        $field = field_file_save_file($filepath, array(), file_directory_path());
        $node->field_photo = array(0 => $field);
      }
?>

Thank you a lot, after having tried a lot of possibilities with all sorts of parameters which all failed, your solution is simple and just works!

thanks, working like a charm.

I'm showing an upload form from outside drupal and then creating the node programatically. The only thing is that I have to copy from the PHP temporary location to somewhere else and then use the field_file_save_file function to save it in the final place.. after that delete the file at "somewhere else".. this is because if you pass $_POST['file']['tmp_name'] as filepath, then you'll have a .tmp in your files directory instead of a .jpg or whatever.. not a big problem but still..

thanks again mate

Here's a slight change to handle multiple images/files.

<?php
     //YOUR LOOP HERE
      $filepath = file_directory_path() . '/images/'. $image;
      if (file_exists($filepath)) {
        $field = field_file_save_file($filepath, array(), file_directory_path());
        $node->field_photo[] = $field);
      }
?>

If anyone else got confused about where to place nathanjo's mod for the image field and where the image 'title' and 'alt' have got to, here is the full code..

  $node = new StdClass();
  $node->type = 'official_photo';
  $node->title = t('Sample official photo');
  $node->taxonomy[4] = 15; // Candid shots gallery

  $node->uid = 1;
  $node->status = 1;
  $node->active = 1;
  $node->promote = 1;

  $field = field_file_save_file(
    ./profiles/multisite/files/official-photo.png', 
    array(), 
    'new/image/path');

  if( !isset($field['data']) ) $field['data'] = array();
  $field['data']['title'] = "the title";
  $field['data']['alt'] = "the alt";

  $node->field_theme_preview_thumb = array(0 => $field);

  $node = node_submit($node);
  node_save($node);
  //var_dump($node);
