PHP midgard object method create_attachment

Example

Creates new attachment.

midgard_attachment create_attachment([name], [title], [mimetype]);

This method takes three arguments:

name, string with unique name for attachment
title, string title for attachment
mimetype, string mimetype for attachment

name must be uniqe among all attachments attached to object. Following Midgard convention, there's no possibility to create two attachment objects with the same name, except empty name.

Note, that all arguments are optional, as there might be a need to create attachment ( with empty name and title ) first and update its properties conditionally.

Returns newly created midgard_attachment object, or NULL on failure.

Example

<?php

 try {
     $topic = new midgard_topic($guid);
 } catch (Exception $e) {
     echo $e->getMessage();  
 }

 $att = $topic->create_attachment("thumbnail");

 if($att)
 {
     $att->title = "The picture to show";
     $att->mimetype = "image/jpeg";
     $att->update();
 }

 ?>
