# Need PHP example for adding images to posts

 * I have a site with thousands of posts. I have a folder with hundreds of images
   in it. Each image goes with one post (not all posts have an image). Rather than
   upload each image through the UI, I want to write a PHP script to loop through
   all the images, upload them and associate them with posts. It would create the
   thumbnail as well. I figure this would be easier than manually uploading hundreds
   of photos. Does anyone have an example of uploading an image to a post? I can
   take it from there.
