Problem with Xmlrpc

[skinner]

Hi, I made a simple script in php that I insert title, content, image, and it posts to my wordpress blog with xmlrpc.

The problem is that my post has wrong layout.

For example, if I insert:

<a href="http://www.pixhost.org/show/111/111_somepic.jpg"><img src="http://www.pixhost.org/show/111/111_somepic.jpg" alt="http://www.pixhost.org/show/111/111_somepic.jpg" border="0"/></a>

I see in post some space between tags and wordpress doesn't recognize as image and, instead, write html code.

I tried to use htmlspecialchars(), but it's worst; I see post as html source..

How can I correct that error?

It may be because wp automatically formats your posts.
Try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-wpautop/

I still have this stupid problem:

<img src="http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/111/1111_aa_aa.jpg&quot;

It doesn't add " at the end of src tag.. but if I stamp with an echo, the link is working well..

Thanks

dont use htmlspecialchars();

for me is working with no special function, maybe depends on how you post.
Can you post the code you are using?

I'm using that function:

function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$category,$keywords='',$encoding='UTF-8') {
    $title = htmlentities($title,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);
    $keywords = htmlentities($keywords,ENT_NOQUOTES,$encoding);

    $content = array(
        'title'=>$title,
        'description'=>$body,
        'mt_allow_comments'=>1,  // 1 to allow comments
        'mt_allow_pings'=>1,  // 1 to allow trackbacks
        'post_type'=>'post',
        'mt_keywords'=>$keywords,
        'categories'=>array($category)
    );
    $params = array(0,$username,$password,$content,true);
    $request = xmlrpc_encode_request('metaWeblog.newPost',$params);
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
    $results = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $results;
  } 

I have problem with img code of pixhost..

working fine for me, image is working in post

If I look at the source of the post I see:

<a href="http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/111/1111_aa_aa.jpg"><img src="http://t2.pixhost.org/thumbs/111/1111_aa_aa.jpg" alt="sssss" border="0"/></a>

Edit:

Now it seems work with that function:

$postbody = htmlspecialchars_decode($postbody);
