 * Hi,
 * I’m currently writing a phpBB modification, which basically automates posts in
   the WordPress blog.
 * The website owner, however, installed some plugins and modifications on the WordPress
   blog, and thus I would like to know if there were any edits in the post submission
   area. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of WordPress experience, and honestly,
   compared to phpBB, WordPress is a mess.
 * To get back to my question, I can’t really find that area. I’d like if someone
   explains me how and where WordPress handles posting. (I only need the actual 
   function that submits the post into the database. )
 * Please don’t link me to [this topic](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post)
   since I already read that one. It didn’t answer my question. It almost answered
   my how question, but didn’t spoke about where it gets handled.
 * Thanks in advance,
    Mii

 * The function wp_insert_post() handles the insertion. It is in wp-includes/post.
   php. Starts around line 2415. The comments describe the post info passed. The
   actual insertion is around 2589:
    $wpdb->insert( $wpdb->posts, $data );

 * Thanks, but in what file is that function written?
