[page] is syntax for external links. Use [[Main Page]] for local pages.

Thanks a lot for the help. I had one more question the link part is still not working. If I want to Dispaly say the link to Main_Page I am dispalying it as [Main_Page], however its still not showing it as a link it just shows it as is in text form. Do I haveto add anything else in this other than page name [page_name] ?

}

You are creating new _Wiki_ text articles using these functions. HTML is not Wiki text. You can just use normal Wiki syntax, like [[myinternallink foo]] or [myexternallink bar].

Its also a good idea to check the return status of some functions (and report it when problems do happen), eg:

$ok = $article->updateRevisionOn( $dbw, $revision );

$dbw->commit();

if( !$ok ) { $dbw->rollback(); // report problem } } else { ... $dbw->commit(); }
