How to upload and add image to WP gallery programmatically?

Question

I need to upload image to WP gallery from server side. So PHP script (in cron) must do the job without my interaction. So I wonder if WP has built in feature for this or should I upload image with CURL to server first and then use some WP functions to add image to post and associate it with post ?

WordPress v3.5 now has some great drag and drop functionality for doing bulk image uploads. Your post seems to imply an automated process where a human wont be involved.

There are 2 articles that have been written since your question was asked. Both provide slightly different solutions to your issue. I hope these help someone:
