Upload files using curl to remote api

Question

I am trying to upload the files users uploaded along with other post data to remote api using curl. This what i have done so far

$_POST['certf'] = '@'.$_FILES['certf']['tmp_name'].';filename=' . $_FILES['certf']['name']; $url = "example.com/app_handler.php?key=key"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, "Content-Type:multipart/form-data"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $result;

In the receiving side i have just printed the $_FILES but it is empty. all the tutorials i have found on internet saying that can accessed $_FILES and we can use it as normal file upload from there. What did i miss here?

Try to send file with CurlFile

$filePath= $_FILES['file1']['tmp_name']; $fileType= $_FILES['file1']['type']; $fileName= $_FILES['file1']['name']; $post_data['certf'] = new \CurlFile($filePath, $fileType, $fileName); $url = "example.com/app_handler.php?key=key"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, "Content-Type:multipart/form-data"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $result;
