[SOLVED] curl file upload - failed creating formpost data error

[light893]

Hello,

 

I've been banging my head on this for the past day. I have looked in the php docs and found the example below which I copied. I tried on 2 different servers and I get the error:

 

"failed creating formpost data".

 

So it seems to be erroring before the information is even sent via curl. 

 

I have the file "dog.txt" in the same directory as my php script initiating the send. There seems to be something that I am just missing and can't figure it out.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. I have tried on my local machine using Apache and on my remote server using Windows IIS with the same error.

 

 

[pre]<?php

  $postData = array();

 

  $postData['uploaded'] = "@dog.txt";

  $postData['submit'] = "UPLOAD";

  $postData['max_file_size'] = "300000";

 

  $ch = curl_init();

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/curlTest/upload.php" );

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  $postResult = curl_exec($ch);

 

  if (curl_errno($ch)) {

      print curl_error($ch);

  }

  curl_close($ch);

  print "$postResult";

?>[/pre]

I was able to solve the problem in case it may help anyone else. I was referencing the location incorrectly. In the file sending, it should be:

 

[pre]$file =  "D:\htdocs\scripts\curlTest\send2.php";

 

$postData['uploaded'] = "@$file";

$postData['submit'] = "UPLOAD";

$postData['max_file_size'] = "300000";[/pre]

 

 

 

and in the file receiving the call, it should be:

 

[pre]$target = "upload\\";

 

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;[/pre]
