node_save: The way to save node to your Drupal Code without running into INSERT query?

Submitted by sudeepg on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 07:47.

I was trying to create a new node programatically by inserting information in node, node_revision tables and using "sequences" table to figure out what is the latest nid and vid. But, for some reason it was failing and then I found the saviour, "node_save", the easy one.

The following code saves your node without any bug, error or tension:

     $edit = array();
                $edit['type'] = 'daylife';
                // get the node type defaults
                $edit['uid'] = 1;
                $edit['name'] = 'bollywood';
                $edit['promote'] = 0;
                $edit['comment'] = 0;
                //$edit['revision'] = ;
                //$edit['format'] = FILTER_FORMAT_DEFAULT;
                $edit['status'] = 1;

                $edit['title'] = $article['headline'];
                $edit['body'] = $body_all;

                $edit['date'] = format_date(time(), 'custom', 'Y-m-d H:i:s O');

                node_invoke_nodeapi($edit, 'daylife');

                node_validate($edit);
                if ($errors = form_get_errors()) {
                    //print_r($errors);
                }

                $node = node_submit($edit);
                node_save($node);
