if you performed that on a script that actually captures the command line
and writes it to a file, then you can make sure that the values you expect
are actually being passed. You could always use the php curl module however,
that is not always enabled. So... I would suggest passthrough ( 'bash -c
echo $username.":".$password'); You may find that the use of single quotes
is doing something funny.

See:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.single

I believe that you may be looking for something like:

passthru("curl -k -u $username\":\"$password -F \"upload=</home/omniupdate/
public_html/brcctv/25live_imports/Library;type=text/xml\"
https://webservices.collegenet.com/r25ws/wrd/blueridge/run/events.xml"<https://webservices.collegenet.com/r25ws/wrd/blueridge/run/events.xml%27>
);
