Code:
$url = "post.php";
$ch = curl_init($url);
// send a file
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$data = array('temp_upload_file' =>'#'.$_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'].';filename='.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name'].';type='. $_FILES['uploadfile']['type']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
// output the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: multipart/form-data'));
echo curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
What I am doing wrong here??

For php5.5+ there is a new curl_file_create() function you need to use
the # format is now deprecated.
Try using following code:
$url = "post.php";
$tmpfile = $_FILES['temp_upload_file']['tmp_name'];
$filename = basename($_FILES['temp_upload_file']['name']);
$ch = curl_init($url);
// send a file
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$data = array(
'uploaded_file' => curl_file_create($tmpfile, $_FILES['uploadfile']['type'], $filename)
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
// output the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: multipart/form-data'));
echo curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
