Answer 1

the good way to do this, is with a file handle and CURLOPT_INFILE, this will work with files of any size, and allows the upload to start before the entire file has been read from disk, thus it's faster and use just a small amount of memory, no matter how big the file is. however, the quick'n easy way, which puts the entire file in memory at once, and doesn't start the upload until the entire file has been read into ram, and is thus unsuitable for big files, is simply: curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,file_get_contents($filename));, but.. the rough equivalent to your curl command, using the good method, is:
$ch = curl_init ();
$filename = "audio-file1.flac";
$fileh = fopen ( $filename, 'rb' );
curl_setopt_array ( $ch, array (
CURLOPT_USERPWD => "{username}:{password}",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array (
'Content-Type: audio/flac'
),
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
CURLOPT_INFILE => $fileh,
CURLOPT_INFILESIZE => filesize ( $filename ),
CURLOPT_URL => "https://stream.watsonplatform.net/speech-to-text/api/v1/recognize?timestamps=true&word_alternatives_threshold=0.9&keywords=%22colorado%22%2C%22tornado%22%2C%22tornadoes%22&keywords_threshold=0.5",
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'libcurl/' . curl_version () ['version'] . '; php/' . PHP_VERSION
) );
// curl_setopt ( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, '127.0.0.1:9999' );
curl_exec ( $ch );
fclose ( $fileh );
curl_close ( $ch );
