Bug->Req #76216 [Opn]: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS should support key[] syntax for array values

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76216&edit=1 ID: 76216 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: standa dot david at gmail dot com -Summary: Post not working with subarray and file +Summary: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS should support key[] syntax for array values Status: Open -Type: Bug +Type: Feature/Change Request Package: cURL related Operating System: Debian PHP Version: 7.2.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Duplicate of bug #51634, #67585, and others. Workaround: Normally constructing the POST data as a string would be easy, but that doesn't work for multipart bodies. Use var[0], var[1], etc. as array keys. $postdata = array( 'file'=> $curlfile, 'var[0]' => 'value1', 'var[1]' => 'value2' ); It's not literally the same but if you have PHP on the receiving end too then it won't make a difference.

So I build post array: $curlfile = curl_file_create($filename); $postdata = array('file'=> $curlfile, 'var' => array('value1', 'value2') ); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); Then I will make simple post request, but it is not working. When I inspect the result with https://httpbin.org/post or print_r($_POST) variable on my site, it will show only Array ( [var] => Array ) I need to have in post request var[]=value1&var[]=value2 Test script: --------------- $curlfile = curl_file_create($filename); $postdata = array('file'=> $curlfile, 'var' => array('value1', 'value2') ); $ch = curl_init ("https://httpbin.org/post"); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $output = curl_exec($ch); Expected result: ---------------- "form": { "var[]": [ "value1", "value2" ] }, Actual result: -------------- "form": { "var": "Array", }, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76216&edit=1
