note 84916 added to function.curl-setopt

What encoding will a given HTTP POST request use? The answer is easy -- passing an array to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS results in multipart/form-data: <?php curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('field1' => 'value')); ?> Passing a URL-encoded string will result in application/x-www-form-urlencoded: <?php curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('field1=value&field2=value2')); ?> I ran across this when integrating with both a warehouse system and an email system; neither would accept multipart/form-data, but both happily accepted application/x-www-form-urlencoded. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 24.16.251.185 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84916 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84916 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84916 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
