How to save autocomplete and date type fields while adding node programmatically?

Question

I am creating a node programmatically and I have a field which is autocomplete and has number of values set to unlimited.

In the code for adding the node programmatically ,the code is as given below

    $node->field_user[]['value'] = $user->name;
       $node->field_time[]['value'] = date('m-d-Y H:i', REQUEST_TIME);
  $trans_node->field_download_flag[0]['value'] = 'YES';

So after programmatically creating a view when I check into the 'find content' place I see a node being generated but when I click on the link(where the content title is )( not on the edit link) , I cannot see the field_user in the view list

field_time
type: date
widget : popup calendar
no of values : unlimited.

field_date
type: Entity Reference
widget : Autocomplete
no of values : unlimited.

field_flag
type: boolean
widget : checkbox/radiobutton
no of values : unlimited.

I think the code for field_user should be as

$node->field_user[]['target_id'] =  $user->name;

but still i am getting error that is WSOD

Answer 1

I think

$node->field_user['und'][]['target_id']

and

$node->field_time['und'][]['value']

is the good way
