PHP Curl with a file attachment - php

Question

I am trying to simulate a PHP cURL POST that requires a file upload.
Here is the HTML form from the website I am trying to POST TO: http://pastebin.com/X6Y0mmfP
The file I need to upload is "domains.txt" which can be found on the same directory as the script.
Using Live HTTP headers (firefox addon) I've retrieved this information:
POST to: http://www.majesticseo.com/reports/bulk-backlinks-upload
HTTP Headers:

In the manual browser upload, I am using domains.txt - which is also the file on the server (in the same directory as the script).
My script first logs in to then it attempts to make this request.
This is what I have tried to do so far, however it is not being accepted:
$ch = curl_init();
$post = array('fileType' => 'SingleColumn',
'indexType' => 'F',
'ajaxLoadUrl' => '/reports/downloads/confirm-file-upload/backlinksAjax',
'file'=>'#'.realpath('./domains.txt') . ';filename=domains.txt'
);
$post = http_build_query($post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/bulk-backlinks-upload");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'majestic.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'majestic.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/bulk-backlink-checker');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Answer 1

Curl doesn't work very well with relative paths, please provide the full path.
ex:
realpath('/home/user/public_html/domains.txt')

Answer 2

This is the function and how I generated the info for the request
function send_curl_request_with_attachment($method, $headers, $url, $post_fields) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
if($headers != "" && count($headers) > 0){
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
} curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE,true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;}
$token_slams = "Authorization: Bearer " . $access_token;
$authHeader = array(
$token_slams,
'Accept: application/form-data');
$schedule_path ='../../documents/' . $docs_record["document"];
$cFile = curl_file_create($schedule_path);
$post = array(
'old_record' => $old_record,
'employer_number' => $employer_number,
'payment_date' => $payment_date,
'fund_year' => $fund_year,
'fund_month' => $fund_month,
'employer_schedule'=> $cFile
);
send_curl_request_with_attachment("POST", $authHeader, $my_url, $post);
