[wp-hackers] automatic image importing

[Abdussamad Abdurrazzaq]

There are some functions in wp-admin/includes/file.php and media.php 
that you can use:

download_url() to download the file
media_handle_sideload() to add the file to media library

Then wp_insert_post to add a new post with wp_get_attachment_link() as 
the content.
