note 66678 added to function.curl-setopt

Passing a <select multiple> through CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is pretty unintuitive. Try this: <? curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "a=value1&a=value2&a=value3"); ?> That works great, until you need to do something like pass a file through POST, too. After combing the Web for hours, I found that this works: <? curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( "a[0]" => "value1", "a[1]" => "value2", "a[2]" => "value3", ... "myfile" => "@file.txt" )); ?> This worked as long as I was passing to other PHP scripts. Perl and other languages don't like the parameter[] trick, and while passing to one, I had to use a combination of GET and POST.
