Post on wordpress remotely with xmlrpc in PHP

Recently i have been working on some wordpress blogs that required frequent addition of post . Coding an automated post generator was not a big task but didn’t know how to post it using php . After a research found that we can post on wordpress remotely using xmlrpc .
I am sharing you the php function which i used in my project . As the code use cURL it should be enabled and activate xmlrpc on wordpress admin panel .
function wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$categories=array(1))
{
$categories = implode(",", $categories);
$XML = "<title>$title</title>"."<category>$categories</category>".$body;
$params = array('','',$username,$password,$XML,1);
$request = xmlrpc_encode_request('wp.newPost',$params);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $rpcurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
Usage :
wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,$categories=array(1));
All parameter that we pass are self explanatory except $rpcurl .
$rpcurl – is the path to file xmlrpc.php of your blog , mostly it would be on root of your blog . eg : http://www.yourdomain.com/xmlrpc.php

@jackie
change the value of $category when you call the fuction .
like :
wpPostXMLRPC($title,$body,$rpcurl,$username,$password,x);
replace x with 1,2,3 … etc .
