Publish a post on your WordPress blog using PHP + cURL

I think I should name my blog “Web Bot source codes”  :P Lolz , today I will be posting something similar called WPBot – Wordpress bot. The PHP code which will publish a post on your post using cURL.This PHP is dependent on class file class.XMLHttpRequest.php ( You can get it here ).You can use this function for various things like publishing of scores , news , jokes etc on your blog . Use cron job method of automated things as used in Twitter Bot.

Source Code
