How to update content programmatically

Here's an example on how to update the value of a matrix field for a content item. The field has two columns, and we are creating two rows of content:, _(*7)

$repository = $this->getContainer()->get( 'ezpublish.api.repository' );
$contentService = $repository->getContentService();

// This example for setting a current user is valid for 5.x and early versions of 6.x installs
// This is deprecated from 6.6, and you should use PermissionResolver::setCurrentUserReference() instead
$repository->setCurrentUser( $repository->getUserService()->loadUser( 14 ) );

$contentId = 26926;
$newTitle = 'My updated title 2';

try
{
    // create a content draft from the current published version
    $contentInfo = $contentService->loadContentInfo( $contentId );
    $contentDraft = $contentService->createContentDraft( $contentInfo );

    // instantiate a content update struct and set the new fields
    $contentUpdateStruct = $contentService->newContentUpdateStruct();
    $contentUpdateStruct->initialLanguageCode = 'eng-US'; // set language for new version
    $matrixValue = new \EzSystems\MatrixBundle\FieldType\Matrix\Value(
        array(
            new \EzSystems\MatrixBundle\FieldType\Matrix\Row( array( 'col1' => 'row1col1', 'col2' => 'row1col2' ) ),
            new \EzSystems\MatrixBundle\FieldType\Matrix\Row( array( 'col1' => 'row2col2', 'col2' => 'row2col2' ) ),
        ),
        array(
            new \EzSystems\MatrixBundle\FieldType\Matrix\Column( array( 'name' => 'Column 1', 'id' => 'col1', 'num' => 0 ) ),
            new \EzSystems\MatrixBundle\FieldType\Matrix\Column( array( 'name' => 'Column 2', 'id' => 'col2', 'num' => 1 ) ),
        )
    );
    $contentUpdateStruct->setField( 'title', $newTitle );
    $contentUpdateStruct->setField( 'matrix', $matrixValue );
    // update and publish draft
    $contentDraft = $contentService->updateContent( $contentDraft->versionInfo, $contentUpdateStruct );
    $content = $contentService->publishVersion( $contentDraft->versionInfo );
