4) define product information like name, status, price, etc.
require_once(‘app/Mage.php’); //Path to Magento
umask(0);
Mage::app();
$product = Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’);
try{
$product->setStoreId(1) //you can set data in store scope
->setWebsiteIds(array(1)) //website ID the product is assigned to, as an array
->setAttributeSetId(4) //ID of a attribute set named ‘default’
->setTypeId(‘simple’) //product type
->setName(‘Product test’) //product name
->setSku(‘product-test’) //SKU
->setWeight(100.00)
->setStatus(1) //product status (1 – enabled, 2 – disabled)
->setTaxClassId(0) //tax class (0 – none, 2 – taxable, 4 – shipping)
->setVisibility(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH) //catalog and search visibility
->setPrice(200.00) //price
->setMetaTitle(‘product test meta title’)
->setMetaKeyword(‘product test meta keyword’)
->setMetaDescription(‘product test meta description’)
->setDescription(‘product test long description’)

->setMediaGallery (array(‘images’=>array (), ‘values’=>array ())) //media gallery initialization

->setStockData(array(
‘use_config_manage_stock’ => 0, //’Use config settings’ checkbox
‘manage_stock’=>1, //manage stock
‘min_sale_qty’=>1, //Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
‘max_sale_qty’=>2, //Maximum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
‘is_in_stock’ => 1, //Stock Availability
‘qty’ => 999 //qty
)
)
