# Image upload Script

 * I have a routine that is inserting my old content into WordPress, each old post
   has an image associated with the post and I have them stored on the file system
   that I can access via POST_ID.
 * My question is how can I get these images in the media library?
 * I don’t want to do this manually, so I want to use the WP API. Is there a script
   out there that can do this for me?
 * Here is what I would need the script to do:
 * – hand the script a post_id & file location, upload and create a thumbnail
    –
   the image should be associated with the post in the media library
