Hi, This is a test code that I made to show the problem: $useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"; $timeout = 10 ; $cookie = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE"); $post = array('_method'=>"put", 'authenticity_token'=>' zcvcxfsdfvxcv', 'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg" ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/test.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "" ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false ); # required for https urls curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); PHP: Now this link used above: http://localhost/test.php has this code: print_r($_POST); print_r($_FILES); PHP: It simply prints whats in post and files. So the above code displays this on screen: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image] => Array ( [name] => Array ( [a] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg ) [type] => Array ( [a] => image/jpeg ) [tmp_name] => Array ( [a] => /tmp/phppLJPQV ) [error] => Array ( [a] => 0 ) [size] => Array ( [a] => 55377 ) ) ) Code (markup): but we need to modify the code so that it should display this: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image[a]] => Array ( [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phppLJPQV [error] => 0 [size] => 55377 ) ) Code (markup): Meaning, it is taking this(profile_image[a]) as an array when we are defining $post because that's how curl recognizes that we want to upload only a file or an array of files on server by http post. So, basically the problem is the name of the input field that is defined as an array (profile_image[a]) on the web page that we are trying to mock. If this(profile_image[a]) was this (profile_image_a)(without []) on that webpage, then it would not have been a problem. So, if you understand, this is basically a syntax problem. I do not know how stop curl from reading 'profile_image[a]' as an array here 'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg. I need curl to read 'profile_image[a]' as an string and not array. I have to use [], otherwise I will not be able to mock the webpage as the name will change. It will give error. I hope I explained the problem and also gave you a way to test if you have a solution. Again, if your code starts displaying this: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image[a]] => Array ( [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phppLJPQV [error] => 0 [size] => 55377 ) ) Code (markup): , then we have a solution. Thanks for helping in advance. Regards, Manoj
try this adding (string) infront of the array key $useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"; $timeout = 10 ; $cookie = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE"); $post = array('_method'=>"put", 'authenticity_token' => 'zcvcxfsdfvxcv', (string)'profile_image[a]' => "@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg" ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/test.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "" ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false ); # required for https urls curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); PHP:
This isn't a curl "problem", but rater PHP itself. This link should help you understand how PHP parses multiple uploads in PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php To solve your problem, I would just parse the files array myself: print_r($_POST); print_r($_FILES); // Now we do our parsing parse_r($_FILES); print_r($_FILES); function parse_r(&$files) { // Check if empty if(count($files) <= 0){ return;} // Parse array $fileList = array(); foreach($files as $setIndex => $curSet) { foreach($files[$setIndex]['name'] as $index => $fileName) { $fileList[$setIndex][] = array('name' => $fileName, 'type' => $files[$setIndex]['type'][$index], 'tmp_name' => $files[$setIndex]['tmp_name'][$index], 'error' => $files[$setIndex]['size'][$index], 'error' => $files[$setIndex]['size'][$index]); } } $files = $fileList; } PHP:
