Sending File with cURL

Question

I've sent some post data with cURL and am now trying to send a file, getting lost along the way. I'm using a form with a file input. Then would like cURL to send it off to my server. Here is my upload page. <form action="curl_page.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Filename: <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form>

Here is my curl page with some issues.

<?php $tmpfile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; $filename = basename($_FILES['file']['name']); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://my_server/file_catch.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); $data = array( 'uploaded_file' => '@'.$tmpfile.';filename='.$filename, ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); $output = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?>

The file_catch.php on my server looks like this.

<?php $folder = "audio/"; $path = $folder . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else{ echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"; } ?>

Thanks for any help!

Provide more information. Allow errors, show curl error functions traces, full reqeust trace that your target page gets — Ranty

Not sure how to go about doing that. Just looking at the code alone, any obvious errors? — Milksnake12

Errors error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors','On'); at start of each script; Curl erros echo curl_error($curl) . ': ' . curl_errno($curl); after curl_exec but before curl_close; you also likely want to see print_r($_POST); print_r($_FILES); in second script. — Ranty

You are not sending the file that you got through the post request. Use the below code for posting the file through CURL request.

$tmpfile = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name']; $filename = basename($_FILES['image']['name']); $data = array( 'uploaded_file' => '@'.$tmpfile.';filename='.$filename, ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); // set your other cURL options here (url, etc.) curl_exec($ch);

For more reference check the below link Send file via cURL from form POST in PHP

I changed my code to what you said and edited my post above. File still didn't make it across to the server.
