I had in mind you would find the specs for posting to blog.
http://www.sixapart.com/developers/xmlrpc/
they give example how the "raw" call looks and also how to do xmlrpc call with

perl

.

But that dented guy took the above and wrapped it nicely up for you

grandpa

here is a simple function to post on wordpress.

that dented guy's function cant include a title while posting.

[code=

php

]
<?

php

//$url = full url to xmlrpc.

php

, include http://

function wp_xmlrpc ($username, $password, $title, $body, $url){

$data = '<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>blogger.newPost</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value><string></string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><string></string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><string>'.$username.'</string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><string>'.$password.'</string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><code><title>'.$title.'</title></code>
<string>'.$body.'</string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><boolean>1</boolean></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>';

$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

return $result;
}

?>

he is using the older blogger api.
the metaWeblog api like enhances the older api
(not sure what the correct terminology is).

if the blog supports if (WP does) to have title in post etc use this call

$data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>metaWeblog.newPost</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string></string></value></param>
<param><value><string>'.$username.'</string></value></param>
<param><value><string>'.$password.'</string></value></param>
<param><value>
<struct>
<member><name>title</name><value><string>'.$title.'</string></value></member>
<member><name>description</name><value><string>'.$post.'</string></value></member>
</struct>
</value></param>
<param><value><boolean>true</boolean></value></param>
</params>
</methodCall>';
// data set make the post
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
return $result;
}
wp_xmlrpc($username, $password, $title, $post, $url);

Thanks for the class guys, been breaking my head before but this works great.
Any idea of how to include a categoy and to set post status to draft?

I thought this would work but doesn't:

<name>post_status</name><value><string>draft</string></value>
