Import Binary Files

Im trying to write a short command line script to import pdf-documents located in a folder on my hard drive, but I have some problems working through the documentation

This is what i came up with:

function import ($nodeID, $filePath, $name) { 
		if ( file_exists( $filePath ) )
		{
			$classID = 28;	// file class id
			$creatorID = 14;	// user object id > default administrator
			
			$class =& eZContentClass::fetch( $classID );
			$parentNodeID = $nodeID;
			$contentObject =& $class->instantiate( $creatorID, 1 );	

			$nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create(
				 array(
					'contentobject_id' => $contentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
					'contentobject_version' => $contentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ),
					'parent_node' => $parentNodeID,
					'sort_field' => 2,
					'sort_order' => 0,
					'is_main' => 1
				));
			$nodeAssignment->store();

			$version =& $contentObject->version( 1 );
			$version->setAttribute( 'modified', eZDateTime::currentTimeStamp() );
			$version->setAttribute( 'status', EZ_VERSION_STATUS_DRAFT );
			$version->store();

			$contentObjectID = $contentObject->attribute( 'id' );
			$dataMap =& $contentObject->dataMap();

			$dataMap['name']->setAttribute( 'data_text', $name );
			$dataMap['name']->store();

			$fileContent =& $dataMap['binary']->attribute( 'content' );
			$fileContent->initializeFromFile( $filePath , $name);
			$dataMap['file']->store();

 			$operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute (
				'content',
				'publish',
				 array (
					'object_id' => $contentObjectID,
					'version' => 1
				 ));
		}
	}

I get an error message like

Call to a member function initializeFromFile() on a non-object in

I guess the datamap is wrong, but I don't know how to set it. Any hints?

The attribute is "file". Thanks for the link. The xml import contribution almost answers all my questions.

The API is weird. Why is there a helper function to initialize images but not for files?
