Fogbugz XML_API PHP CURL File upload - php

Question

I have built a php script which receives values in $_POST and $_FILES
I'm catching those values, and then trying to use CURL to make posts to FogBugz.
I can get text fields to work, but not files.
$request_url = "http://fogbugz.icarusstudios.com/fogbugz/api.php";
$newTicket = array();
$newTicket['cmd'] = 'new';
$newTicket['token'] = $token;
$newTicket['sPersonAssignedTo'] = 'autobugz';
$text = "\n";
foreach( $form as $pair ) {
$text .= $pair[2] . ": " . $pair[0] . "\n";
}
$text = htmlentities( $text );
$newTicket['sEvent'] = $text;
$f = 0;
foreach ($_FILES as $fk => $v) {
if ($_FILES[$fk]['tmp_name'] != '') {
$extension = pathinfo( $_FILES[$fk]['name'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
//only take the files we have specified above
if (in_array( array( $fk, $extension ) , $uploads)) {
$newTicket['File'.$f] = $_FILES[$fk]['tmp_name'];
//echo ( $_FILES[$fk]['name'] );
//echo ( $_FILES[$fk]['tmp_name'] );
//print $fk;
//print '<br/>';
//print_r( $v );
}
}
}
$ch = curl_init( $request_url );
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $newTicket );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

To upload files with CURL you should prepend a # to the path, see this example:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($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">
$post = array(
"file_box"=>"#/path/to/myfile.jpg",
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

The other answer -- for FogBugz reasons only --
$f cannot be set to 0 initially. It must be 1, so the files go through as File1, File2, etc.
The # symbol is also key.
