Posting to CATS FROM external Site

I have spent hours and hours trying to find a way to post from my website to CATS 0.8.0 using the CATS classes and PHP. Does anyone have any ideas on how to interface with the CATS classes and bypass the UI? If anyone has an API designed, that would be great!

Hi ptemberton ,

this is a similar problem we've worked around whilst using the Joomla module - it writes directly to the MySQL CATS databases rather than using the cats interface.

It's pretty self-explanatory if you check out the code in the svn repo.

Thanks Russ,

I finally figured it out The problem was the company wanted me to use the existing classes in CATS. I finally convinced them that it was unrealistic to do that without major mods. So I wrote some scripts to do that. That hard part was dealing with the resume upload. But I got around that too.
