Magento code add pictures to the product

magento

To add pictures to the product, put them into the according folder.
With this code, I used to build a module have import product function and you can use anywhere it.

Before, you need a array include image type. Here is thumbnail, small_image and image. All images put into the according folder. I will use “media/import/”.

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);

$images = array(
	'image1.jpg' => 'thumbnail', 
	'image2.jpg' => 'small_image', 
	'image3.jpg' => '', 
	'image4.jpg' => '', 
	'image5.jpg' => 'image'
);

$dir = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'import/';
foreach ($images as $image => $type) {
  $path = $dir . $image;
  if (file_exists($path)) {
    try {	
	  $product->addImageToMediaGallery($path, $type, false, false);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
      echo $e->getMessage();
    }
  } else {
    echo "Can not find image by path: `{$path}`<br/>";
  }
}

 

Next step: run this code and see result.
