   The following function works well for creating Drafts but when using $status='publish' I get an errror:

   Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in ...wp-includes\post.php on line 703
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_userdata() in ...\wp-includes\link-template.php on line 85

   function wp_ai_post($title, $content, $timestamp = null, $category = null, $status = 'draft', $authorid = null, $allowpings = true, $allowcomments = true ) {
   global $wpdb;
   
   $date = ($timestamp) ? gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp) : null;
   
      $postid = wp_insert_post(array(
   		'post_title' 	            => $title,
     		'post_content'  	        => $content,
     		'post_content_filtered'  	=> $content,
     		'post_category'           => $category,
     		'post_status' 	          => $status,
     		'post_author'             => $authorid,
     		'post_date'               => $date,
     		'comment_status'          => $allowcomments,
     		'ping_status'             => $allowpings
       ));
   
   do_action('publish_post', $postid);
   
   return $postid;
   }

   Any ideas ?

   Not sure about the error, but you can pass wp_insert_post 'post_status' = 'publish' to get it to publish the post. It defaults to draft so you have to specify the status yourself.

   You're getting the warning because your post_name is not unique. The post_name is generated from the post_title unless you specify it manually, and yours probably conflicts with another one.

   You're getting the fatal error on get_userdata because you are not including all the necessary files or something. You need to include wp-blog-header.php to load WordPress correctly.
