One of these days there was one task as in WordPress to add an image to the WordPress. Namely it was necessary to add a picture of Google Maps. The result is the following code, I think does not need comments.
<?php $post_id = NULL; // Or Post ID $city = 'New York'; $image_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?'. 'center='.urlencode($city).'&'. 'zoom=7&'. 'size=400x400&'. 'maptype=roadmap&'. 'key='.GOOGLE_MAP_KEY.'&'. 'language=en&'. 'region=US'; $image_name = sanitize_title($city).'.png'; $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir(); $image_data = file_get_contents($image_url); $unique_file_name = wp_unique_filename($upload_dir['path'], $image_name); $filename = basename($unique_file_name); if(wp_mkdir_p($upload_dir['path'])) $file = $upload_dir['path'].'/'.$filename; else $file = $upload_dir['basedir'].'/'.$filename; file_put_contents($file, $image_data); $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype($filename, null); $attachment = array( 'guid' => $upload_dir['url'].'/'.basename($filename), 'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'], 'post_title' => sanitize_file_name($filename), 'post_content' => '', 'post_status' => 'inherit' ); $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment($attachment, $file, $post_id); $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attach_id, $file); wp_update_attachment_metadata($attach_id, $attach_data); ?>
