Command Line curl to PHP cURL issues (500 server error) - php

Question

I am connecting to an API with multipart/form-data, if I send the request via curl on the command line I have no issues, but when sending it with PHP cURL I get an internal server 500 error.
The command line is
curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "X-DevKey: XXX" -H "X-AccessToken: XXX" -F "data=#file.json; type=application/json" -X POST https://api.site.com/v1/Items -i -v
Which, give me the following response
> POST /v1/Items HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.24.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin12.0) libcurl/7.24.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8y zlib/1.2.5

> Expect: 100-continue

Any help as to why I'm getting the 500 error would be greatly appreciated.
