Saves a new or existing channel entry. The data array must contain a title and data for all required fields. If the entry date or edit date are not included in the data array, current time will be used instead.:

ee()->api_channel_entries->save_entry($data, $channel_id, $entry_id, $autosave);

Example Usage:

ee()->load->library('api');
ee()->legacy_api->instantiate('channel_entries');
ee()->legacy_api->instantiate('channel_fields');

$data = array(
    'title'         => 'Breaking News Story!',
    'entry_date'    => '1256953732',
    'edit_date'     => '1351653729',
    'field_id_6'    => 'Some data',
    'field_ft_6'    => 'none',
    'field_id_19'   => 'More data',
    'field_ft_19'   => 'xhtml'
);

ee()->api_channel_fields->setup_entry_settings($channel_id, $data);

$success = ee()->api_channel_entries->save_entry($data, $channel_id);

    if ( ! $success)
    {
            show_error(implode('<br />', $this->api_channel_entries->errors));
    }

This function will create a new channel entry. The data array must contain a title and data for all required fields. If the entry date or edit date are not included in the data array, current time will be used instead.

ee()->api_channel_entries->submit_new_entry((int) $channel_id, (array) $data);

This function will update a channel entry. The data array must contain a title and data for all required fields. If the entry date or edit date are not included in the data array, current time will be used instead.

ee()->api_channel_entries->update_entry((int) $entry_id, (array) $data);

This function will delete one or more entries as well as some of their related data. The data array must contain an entry id, or an array of entry ids.

ee()->api_channel_entries->delete_entry((mixed) $entry_ids);

This function checks if an entry with a given id exists.

ee()->api_channel_entries->entry_exists((int) $entry_id);

This function sends pings to a list of ping servers. The submit_new_entry() and update_entry() functions will automatically send pings if given ping_servers in their data array. $ping_servers should be a list of ping server ids from the exp_ping_servers database table:

ee()->api_channel_entries->send_pings((array) $ping_servers, (int) $channel_id, (int) $entry_id);

This function updates the relationship cache table. You should only need to use this function if you are manually changing relationship data, submit_new_entry() and update_entry() will automatically recompile relationship data:

ee()->api_channel_entries->update_related_cache((int) $entry_id);
