RussianRoot 20/02/2013 0

Hello World! Today i will show you how to submit file in php using cURL.

The most important is to add “@” symbol at the beginnig of the path. That was all the magic^^

<?php
    $curlHandler = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_URL, _VIRUS_SCAN_URL);
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_POST, true);

    // as <input type="file" name="upload">
    $dataFields= array(
        "upload"=>"@/way_to/the/file.pdf",
    );
    curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataFields); 
    $response = curl_exec($curlHandler);
?>

<?php

$curlHandler = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_URL, _VIRUS_SCAN_URL);

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_POST, true);

// as <input type="file" name="upload">

$dataFields= array(

"upload"=>"@/way_to/the/file.pdf",

);

curl_setopt($curlHandler, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataFields);

$response = curl_exec($curlHandler);
