[wp-hackers] Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_insert_category() in ....

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

I was assuming you were using it as a CLI script and not in-browser.

You should probably avoid admin functions then, instead, use functions
available in wp-includes/category.php and wp-includes/taxonomy.php

Eg: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_term
