Error in image upload - php

Question

I want to post some data including a image.I am using curl in php for this.My code is below-
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: multipart/form-data"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://postacity.co.uk:8080/shine/pp/upload/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$post = array(
'creatorid' => '119',
'userfile' => '#/temp/fgf.jpg',
'notice' => 'Image1',
'catid' => '1',
'title' => 'bookofzeus',
'boardid' => '332',
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
else {
echo $response;
}
}
Every time i am getting the same error
Error: failed creating formpost data
Am i doing any mistake.I have searched for this problem but still no solution found.

Answer 1

The path to the file is the problem: '#/temp/fgf.jpg'
You should take a look at this bug gescription: Bug 50060 - failed creating formpost data if post array value starts with #
The solutions of this problem for example at php freaks.
And use absolute path to the files.

Refer this its working
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, _VIRUS_SCAN_URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// same as <input type="file" name="file_box">
$post = array(
"file_box"=>"#/path/to/myfile.jpg",
"username"=>"foobar",
"password"=>"secret",
"submit"=>"submit"
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
?>
