Creating new Attribute?

[tharo]

Hi. 

 

I wanted to create an new Attribute using this code

$a = new Attribute();
$a->name = $value;
$a->id_attribute_group = $groupId;
$a->color = $color;
$a->add();

obviously its wrong. But what is the recommend way to create an attribute like another color, if not to fizzle around in the database?

 

I also had a look at this code:

But it also seems to crash as soon as "add" get called.
