I will find how I did that and I will send you

I'll take a quick guess and say that you also need to automagically populate the evo_postcats table, but I'm also interested in what Walter comes up with for my own spin on this type of thing. Eventually I'll want a way to add a user with a blog and a category and a protected post in that category that is credited to the new blogger. Sort of like a miniature autoblog plugin, only dependent on me (as The Admin) deciding this new blogger gets his/her own blog.

Anyway I'll guess that if you're looking to add a post and adding info to the posts table isn't doing it then you need to also populate the postcats table.

Didn't I post a solution to this a while ago? Summat to do with $fred = & new Item() ?

Anyway, in case I didn't, you can create a new item, add all your bits and bobs and then tell it to slap itself into the db ;)

Yay, I found fred

Thx for the answers. I should have mentioned that I'm normally programming in Perl... I'm only switching to PHP if there's no other way to accomplish what I want. So I tried EdB's solution and it worked. Thx a lot!
