[wp-xmlrpc] New Media Object

[David Weiss]

And my starting point for getting the file into $data is this:

 <?php
// get contents of a file into a string
$filename = "path-to-file";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$data = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
?>


 I'll let you all know if it works or not.
