How To Post Articles To Wordpress Programmatically?

Wondering is there a way so that you can post an article to Wordpress directly from your own PHP code. I want to post in my own standalone wordpress from my php page which should call the hosted wordpress 2开发者_开发技巧.8.6 version and post an article with images (create thumbnail automatically). Is it possible?

global $user_ID;
$post = array();
$post['post_type']    = 'post';
$post['post_content'] = 'Put your post content here';
$post['post_author']  = $user_ID;
$post['post_status']  = 'publish';
$post['post_title']   = 'Your Post Title';
$postid = wp_insert_post ($post);
if ($postid == 0) 
  echo 'Oops!';
else
  echo 'Snazzy!';
