note 112113 added to function.curl-setopt

If you have a mixture of strings starting with @ (at character) and files in CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS you have a problem (such as posting a tweet with attached media) because curl tries to interpret anything starting with @ as a file. <?php $postfields = array( 'upload_file' => '@file_to_upload.png', 'upload_text' => '@text_to_upload' ); $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/upload-test'); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); ?> To get around this, prepend the text string with the NULL character like so: <?php $postfields = array( 'upload_file' => '@file_to_upload.png', 'upload_text' => sprintf("\0%s", '@text_to_upload') ); ?> Original source: http://bit.ly/AntMle ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 115.87.217.79 (proxied: 115.87.217.79) ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112113 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112113 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112113 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
