#37760 [NEW]: CURL: How to upload a file

From: kulakov74 at yandex dot ru Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: CURL: How to upload a file Description: ------------ The documentation page on curl_setopt does not clearly state how to select form content type (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart) and how to upload a file when making a POST. I could find it out from the user notes below the manual. It seems that the multipart mode is triggered when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS parameter is an array, not a string, and to pass a file one has to put it like "@filename". User notes mention it, while the manual itself does not. Also, it is not clear (if possible) how to send a form in multipart mode when the file is empty (sometimes that's needed). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37760&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=37760&r=mysqlcfg
