Hi Everyone,

I want to share with you guys how to create a node programatically using drupal_execute function.

There are so many articles which explains it. I googled for the solution to create a node with node reference and result is i didn't find any solution. After some research i found one solution for this. I want to share the same with you guys. Below code explains how to create node programatically.


global $user;
module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages'); // required
$create = array('type' => 'node_type');
$form_state = array();

Hi ,

Today i found one strange bug with drupal 6 pager_query implementation. When i write part of sql query in small letters like

$result = pager_query("SELECT * from {table1} where placementid = %d", 10, $pager_num, NULL, $vid);

and calling theme('pager', NULL, 10, $pager_num); pager is failed to print.

But writing like this

$result = pager_query("SELECT * FROM {table1} where placementid = %d", 10, $pager_num, NULL, $vid);

and calling theme('pager', NULL, 10, $pager_num); pager is displayed. This is due to case sensitivity of "FROM" in sql query.

Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free, open source framework that optimizes PHP intermediate code and caches data and compiled code from the PHP bytecode compiler in shared memory, which will save the compile time of php code and increases the drupal performance which is built using php.
