Current code I use.....

        $data_map =& $contentObject->attribute("data_map");
        $data_map['name']->setAttribute( 'data_text', 'Monthly Service' );
        $data_map['name']->store();

But know I would like to use setContent.... Somhow the code does not work

How do I use it?

        $content = 'Monthly Service';
        $data_map =& $contentObject->attribute("data_map");
        $data_map['name']->setContent( $content );
        $data_map['name']->store();

The <i>setContent()</i> wasn't created for this behaviour actually, some datatypes do this but only internally.

Hower to remedy the problem with inserting data uniformly some new additions are being made to the eZDatatype interface.

Currently these are added:
<i>insertHTTPFile</i> - Insert an uploaded file (HTTP Post)
<i>insertRegularFile</i> - Insert a local file
<i>insertSimpleString</i> - Insert a simple string

It is also possible to query if a datatype supports any of these insert methods.

But this will only help if you are using 3.5.
