Where I said 'PHP then parses this into an array but only "val2" is in
it.' I meant "Array", not "val2".

Description:
------------
With CLI curl I can run
curl -F test=value -F test=value --trace-ascii trace
http://localhost/test.php
and in the file trace I see that it posted multipart/form-data with two
fields called "test" with content "value".
I need this same behaviour from PHP. But the only way at present, it
seems, to add form fields to the curl handle (and have them transmit as
multipart/form-data) is to use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
$data) where $data is an array of name->value pairs.
Obviously I can't have two pairs in this array with the same name.
I've tried array("name" => array("val1", "val2")) but that
posts the
string "Array" as the value for field "name".
I've tried array("name[]" => array("val1", "val2")) but that
posts the
string "Array" as the value for field "name[]" (PHP then parses this
into an array but only "val2" is in it.)
I've tried array("name[]" => "val1", "name[]" =>
"val2") but of course
that doesn't work since as soon as that array is initialized it's only
got one element -- the second overwrote the first.
I think allowing array("name" => array("val1", "val2")) would be
the
best solution. (And brackets should not be added to the end of "name"
unless specified.)
