EXAMPLE SCRIPT -------------- /* http://example.com: <?php var_dump($_FILES); ?> */ // Create a cURL handle $ch = curl_init('http://example.com/index.php'); $cfile = curl_file_create('example.txt','text/plain','test_name'); // Assign POST data $postdata = ['file' => $cfile]; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); // Execute the handle echo curl_exec($ch); ACTUAL RESULTS -------------- Using cURL 7.68.0 and PHP 7.3 ----------------------------- $_FILES: /srv/www/index.php:5: array (size=1) 'file' => array (size=5) 'name' => 'test_name' (length=9) 'type' => 'text/plain' (length=10) 'tmp_name' => '/tmp/php69gfI5' (length=14) 'error' => 0 'size' => 25 POST /index.php HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------63a96cbe43cf28f8 Content-Length: 212 Accept: */* Host: example.com Using cURL 7.68.0 and PHP 7.4 ----------------------------- $_FILES: /srv/www/index.php:5: array (size=0) empty POST /index.php HTTP/1.1 Expect: 100-continue Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------46680d0956db253f Transfer-Encoding: chunked Accept: */* Host: example.com EXPECTED RESULTS ---------------- Should be the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-24 13:11:41] cmb@php.net For me, using current PHP-7.4 the test script outputs: Linux, curl 7.64.0: POST / HTTP/2 Host: example.com Accept: */* Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------df0efab1e65ad7e7 Linux, curl 7.68.0: POST / HTTP/2 Host: example.com accept: */* content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------f55b79edfe19cb82 Windows, curl 7.67.0 POST / HTTP/2 Host: example.com accept: */* content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------1e758282c5b98dfb So obviously a bug in libcurl which has been fixed in the meantime. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-01-23 18:05:45] sdmarshall73 at gmail dot com My apologies for the previous post ( and this one ). You did mention the files were being removed on the remote side. Seems like the same issue I'm experiencing. I've voted on the bug and I'll just follow this post.
