Problem with wp_insert_attachment!

    I want to make a function that will take an image from the wordpress uploads directory and add it in the media library. So I added the following code in functions.php of my theme. Problem is, that every time I try to post the page keeps loading and never loads! This happens when wp_insert_attachment() is executed. $image_path represents the full local path to the image eg “/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/image.jpg”.

    $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($image_path), null );
$attachment = array(
   'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
   'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($image_path)),
   'post_content' => '',
   'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id=wp_insert_attachment($attachment,$image_path);
// you must first include the image.php file
// for the function wp_generate_attachment_metadata() to work
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data=wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attach_id,$image_path );
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attach_id,$attach_data);

    I tried it with the default theme as well. Same problem. Any ideas?

    I found out that if the above code is executes inside a function called by add_filter it doesn’t work. In any other case it works.

    Eg. this doesn’t work

    add_filter('content_save_pre', 'foobar');

function foobar(){
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($image_path), null );
$attachment = array(
   'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
   'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($image_path)),
   'post_content' => '',
   'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id=wp_insert_attachment($attachment,$image_path);
// you must first include the image.php file
// for the function wp_generate_attachment_metadata() to work
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data=wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attach_id,$image_path );
wp_update_attachment_metadata($attach_id,$attach_data);
}

    Any ideas on how could I solve this?
