Need quick CURL help - only 10 days left to finish my project

Dear friends.

After wasting 2 whole days of my project time trying to figure out why it doesnt work, I came here for help.
Please help me.

My project is to make auto torrents uploader.
but for some reasons, curl is not submitting the file upload form.

I tried :

	
$file='@D:\Die_Lunikoff_Verschw__rung-Heil_Froh_2008.4421019.TPB.torrent';
 
    
    $ch = curl_init('http://mininova.org/upload');  
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "./tmp/cookies");
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "./tmp/cookies");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('torrent'=>"$file",'name'=>'test value'));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.mininova.org/upload');

	
	
    $postResult = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    print "$postResult"; 

PHP:

it just prints a blank page.

But when I setup my own file uploader script on localhost similar to mininova, it uploads the file but not on mininova..
Please help me.. there isnt any error on curl_errno ( returns 0 )

But when I fetch the page using curl normally without submitting file upload form, it successfully fetches http://www.mininova.org/upload page.

Please help me, I really need help, I need to finish my project

 

I can see the obvious problem. I haven't looked for others.

$file='@D:\Die_Lunikoff_Verschw__rung-Heil_Froh_2008.4421019.TPB.torrent';

PHP:

You need to escape the backslash.

$file='@D:\\Die_Lunikoff_Verschw__rung-Heil_Froh_2008.4421019.TPB.torrent';

PHP:

 

Your code is fine.

Enabling these CURL options

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

PHP:

reveals the problem:

HTTP/1.1 417 Expectation Failed
Connection: close
Content-Length: 0
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:50:10 GMT
Server: lighttpd/1.4.19

Code (markup):

This is, unfortunately, a known lighttpd bug (so yes, the problem is with the server).

You can however fix your particular problem client-side, by overwriting the Expect-Header and setting it to an empty value:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array('Expect: '));

PHP:

Please post back if this works.. but it should
