If speed is not an issue, use drupal_execute(). You're on the safe side with it, you don't need to worry about hook_nodeapi() / hook_form_alter() implementations of the moduls in use.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, I settled for:<br>
<br>
$node = new stdClass();<br>
node_object_prepare($node);<br>
// Add stuff.<br>
$node->title = 'my title';<br>
node_save($node);<br>
<br>
On that note, I urge all module developers to not rely on form submission in their hook_nodeapi() implementations. Your module's node api implementation shouldn't break when a node is being created without using the way through the form api.<div>
