Re: Bad File Mode?

You can stat (get filesize, modification time, permissions) only local files - download it first and then get its filesize if you need it. Steve Keller wrote:

I'm still trying to get a file posted to another server, but I seem to have run across an odd snag, and I was hoping someone can point out where I've gone wrong. Here's the code: <?

        $data = "mtype=XMLDOC&outfile=true";
        $dataFile = "http://www.healthtvchannel.org/courses/pay/data/test.xml";
        $fileSize = filesize($dataFile);
        $fp = fopen($dataFile, "rb");
        $strFile = fread($fp, $fileSize);
        fclose($fp);

        $osbURL="https://partners.netledger.com/SmbXml";

        $ch = curl_init();
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        echo "Set Post: ".$res;
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        echo "<br />Set Follow: ".$res;
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
        echo "<br />Set Verbose: ".$res;
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $osbURL);
        echo "<br />Set URL: ".$res;
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data."&mediafile=".$strFile);
        echo "<br />Set Postfields: ".$res;
        $res = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        echo "<br />Set ReturnTransfer: ".$res;

        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        echo $result;
