Re: Send XML file with curl functions

The problem is that it is a 3rd party API that I am trying to submit data to. I have submitted a request to make the necessary changes for what I'm trying to do. Nathan Nobbe wrote:

Option 2 is what I'm trying to do, but the problem is that when curl sends the file over the command line, when it's processes via PHP the attached file comes over $_FILES.

im lost here. in option 2 from Bojan's post there is no attached file. there is only a variable that happens to store xml. if php is handling the request on the system hosting $url from said post then the xml data will be made available in the $_POST array albiet the 'data' index. ergo, php on said system would look something like this <?php $rawRequestXml = $_POST['data']; try { $requestXml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawRequestXml); } catch(Exception $e) { // do error handling stuff } ?>

But, added the postdata obviously doesn't allow it to come over that way. Is there any way to use option 2 and transmit the file so it will come over under $_FILES?

i dont understand the 'need' to have the request data available in the $_FILES array; whats wrong w/ $_POST ? -nathan
