Using PHP and CURL to do an HTML file POST
After scouring the internet to find out how to do multipart post operations and finding nothing nothing, I decided to save someone else some time. The trick is that @ before the file name:
<?php
$fullflepath = 'C:\temp\test.jpg';
$upload_url = 'http://www.example.com/uploadtarget.php';
$params = array(
'photo'=>"@$fullfilepath",
'title'=>$title
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $upload_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
