Programmatically create a node with CCK fields?
I used admin GUI to create a new content type "my_type", then I added CCK fields. Does anyone know how to create a node of "my_type" using php programmatically?
I used drupal_execute() to create node before, but it requires a form id. In that case, the content type was defined by a module, which contained a form for the content type. I don't know what form id to use for a type created using GUI with CCK fields.
Another method of creating node is to use node_save(). I haven't figured out how to use either method for content type with CCK fields. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

That is the "best" method of how to do it...
There is also a lot of great discussion in http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2008-March/029148.html
node_factory module
I hope some common sense will land in this module. This is far from complete though.

Multiple values field
Hello,
I know that for a simple field, this works:
<?php$node->field_soft_license[0]['value'] = $lic;
?>
But if this is a multiple values field (selected by checkboxes), I try this:
<?phpforeach ($licenses as $lic) {
$node->field_soft_license['value'][$lic] = $lic;
}
?>
However it doesn't work :( I use node_save instead of drupal_execute as I think the latter has some problems with Batch API.
