I'm using xampp that currently comes with php 5.2.8. and libcurl 7.16.0

Works fine for me with both 5.2 and 5.3. What version of libcurl are
you 
using?

Sorry, but that doesn't work. 

Note that this is a different problem that the one described on that
page.

You just need to disable the Expect header cURL sends by default:

Description:
------------
Inserting array (key=>value) as CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS doesn't work
although documentation states:

 "This can either be passed as a urlencoded string like
'para1=val1&para2=val2&...' or as an array with the field name as key
and field data as value. "

Reproduce code:
---------------
$url="example.php";
$process = curl_init($url);
$data= array ('somefield'=>'somedata')
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($process);
curl_close($process);

Expected result:
----------------
input field "somefield" with value "somedata" posted to example.php

Actual result:
--------------
Empty field/value


------------------------------------------------------------------------
