************************************************************************
I would like to use cURL to not only send data parameters in HTTP POST but to also upload files with specific form name. How should I go about doing that ?
HTTP Post parameters:
userid = 12345 filecomment = This is an image file
HTTP File upload: File location = /home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg Form name for file = image (correspond to the $_FILES['image'] at the PHP side)
I figured part of the cURL command as follows:
curl -d "userid=1&filecomment=This is an image file" --data-binary @"/home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg" localhost/uploader.php
The problem I am getting is as follows:
Notice: Undefined index: image in /var/www/uploader.php
The problem is I am using $_FILES['image'] to pick up files in the PHP script.
How do I adjust my cURL commands accordingly ?
=============
You need to use the -F
option:-F/--form <name=content> Specify HTTP multipart POST data (H)
try this
curl \
-F "userid=1" \
-F "filecomment=This is an image file" \
-F "image=@/home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg" \
localhost/uploader.php
=======================
Catching the user id as path variable (recommended):
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "data=@test.mp3" http://mysuperserver/media/1234/upload/
Catching the user id as part of the form:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "data=@test.mp3;userid=1234" http://mysuperserver/media/upload/
