function hook_insert

7.x node.api.php hook_insert($node)
6.x node.php hook_insert($node)

Respond to node insertion.

This is a hook used by node modules. It is called to allow the module to take action when a new node is being inserted in the database by, for example, inserting information into related tables.

Parameters

$node: The node being inserted.

Return value

None.

To take action when nodes of any type are inserted (not just nodes of the type(s) defined by this module), use hook_nodeapi() instead.

For a detailed usage example, see node_example.module.
