If you’re automatically creating a wordpress post or page from php code, rather than from the wordpress admin panel, sometimes you might need to add a pic from a different website to your upload directory, and then display that pic inside your wordpress page.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In This post, I will show you to how to upload a picture to your wordpress inside your media library and retrieve its URL using xmlrpc library.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Code:<\/h3>\n
\/\/make sure to include the correct path to class-IXR.php, depending on your  current Directoryr<\/span>
include ‘wp-includes\/class-IXR.php’; <\/span><\/p>\n

\/\/Wordpress Username<\/span>
$username = “myWpUsername”;
\/\/Wordpress Password<\/span>
$password = “myWpPassword”;
\/\/make sure you specify the exact path to your xmlrpc.php<\/span>
$xmlrpc_url = ‘http:\/\/mywebsite.com\/xmlrpc.php’; <\/span><\/p>\n

$ixrClient = new IXR_Client($xmlrpc_url);<\/p>\n

\/\/url or image to add to the media library<\/span>
$img = “http:\/\/wrmmedia.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/02\/test-paper.jpg”; <\/span>
\/\/image_name.jpg<\/span>
$image[‘name’] = md5($img). ‘.jpg’; <\/span>
\/\/type of image<\/span>
$image[‘type’] = ‘image\/jpg’;
\/\/url or full path of an image<\/span>
$image[‘bits’] = new IXR_Base64(file_get_contents($img));
\/\/overwrite if exist<\/span>
$image[‘overwrite’] = true;
<\/span><\/p>\n

\/\/Upload the pic<\/span>
if (!$ixrClient->query(‘wp.uploadFile’, ‘1’, $username, $password, $image))
{
    \/\/If upload is unsuccessfull, write the error in error log<\/span>
    error_log(‘An error occurred – ‘ . $ixrClient->getErrorCode() . “:” . $ixrClient->getErrorMessage());
}
else
{
     \/\/Get Response<\/span>
    $clientResponse = $ixrClient->getResponse();
    \/\/echo URL of Image<\/span>
    echo $clientResponse[‘url’];  <\/span>
} <\/p>\n
