使用PHP CURL上传文件

Question

I have a front end php application that is connected to an API. The application talks to the API through PHP curl as that is the only mode of communication.

I need to upload files to the server, these files are taken from the browser and sent to the server.

What would be the best way to send a multi part file to the server using curl.

Currently i am sending the file using $_POST , but i dont think that is recommended.

Answer 1

If your using curl POST then you can just add the file to the POST with @

// same as <input type="file" name="fileField">
$post = array(
    "fileField"=>"@/path/to/file.jpg",
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); 

There are plenty of results on google
