in drupal you can create node using node_save function as below

$node = new StdClass();//creating a bare node
$node->type = 'answer';//giving it type
$node->status = 1;//give it a published staus
$node->title = "Step up to the FLava";//gives title
$node->body = "Body Body body"; //gives body

node_save($node);
//save it and give it the rest of the attributes`
