Sending File with cURL - php

Question

I've sent some post data with cURL and am now trying to send a file, getting lost along the way. I'm using a form with a file input. Then would like cURL to send it off to my server. Here is my upload page.
<form action="curl_page.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Filename: <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Here is my curl page with some issues.
<?php
$tmpfile = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$filename = basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://my_server/file_catch.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$data = array(
'uploaded_file' => '#'.$tmpfile.';filename='.$filename,
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
The file_catch.php on my server looks like this.
<?php
$folder = "audio/";
$path = $folder . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
?>
Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

You are not sending the file that you got through the post request. Use the below code for posting the file through CURL request.
$tmpfile = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$filename = basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
$data = array(
'uploaded_file' => '#'.$tmpfile.';filename='.$filename,
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
// set your other cURL options here (url, etc.)
curl_exec($ch);
