wp_insert_post categories array with variables

    This code works:

    $post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
		'post_author'	=> $user_id,
                'post_category' => array(3) )

    //some stuff omitted

    This does not

    $post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
		'post_author'	=> $user_id,
                'post_category' => array($category_id) )

    Using echo, $category_id is indeed 3, so I don’t get why this is not working. I’m guessing this has something to do with php and array creation but I couldn’t figure out what is wrong.

    The PHP code you have written is creating an array with 3 elements in it, not an array with 1 element of 3.

    PS. Yes I know this is an old query – I happened to stumble on it when searching for my issue with categories (and is something I find a pain as well)
