I noted something when using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS in combination with arrays from PHP.

You may supply an array, but there may not be any sub-arrays in this array, as this will give Array-to-string-conversion notice.

Example:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();

# this works
$data = array('name' => 'value');

# this gives "Notice: Array to string conversion..."
$data = array('name' => array('subname' => 'subvalue'));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/test.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_exec($ch);
