[wp-hackers] automatic image importing

[Dmitry Tokmakov]

Thanks a lot guys! your information saved me a lot of time and minimized my code! 
It didnt work for me until I included this modules:

 require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');
 require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
 require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');

Thank you!
