Hi all,

I know this has already been discussed but I stil have problems to make it
work: I would need to automatically upload a local file from a client PC so
I was thinking using cURL to simulate filling a form to pass the file name
to this form.

So I started testing something like the code below:

- cURL to call the HTML form:
<?
$APP="http://host/bin/curl1.php";
$file="d:\\tv.jpg";

if (isset($file))
  {
     $ch = curl_init($APP);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('file'=>"@$file"));
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
     $postResult = curl_exec($ch);
     curl_close($ch);
     print "$postResult";
     print "$file";
  }
  else
  {
     print "<form enctype=\"multipart/form-data\ action=\"curl1.php\"
method=\"post\" >\n";

     print "</form>";
}

?>
- HTML form:

<form action="<?echo $PHP_SELF?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" method=POST>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
<input type=file name=file size=29>
<input type="submit" value=" Send File ">
</form>
<?
  if($file) {
    $formats = array('jpg','gif','png');
    $dest = "images/$file_name";
    if(in_array(strtolower(substr($file_name,-3)),$formats)) {
      if(!copy($file,$dest)) {
        echo "Unable to create $dest - check permissions<br>\n";
        exit;
      }
    }
  }
  else {
          print "no file";
  }
  $fd = opendir("images");
  while($entry = readdir($fd)) {
    if(eregi("\.(jpg|gif|png)$",$entry)) {
      echo "<a href=\"images/$entry\">";
      echo "<img src=\"images/$entry\" align=middle border=0 height=80
width=100>";
      echo "</a> $entry<br>\n";
    }
  }
  closedir($fd);
?>

It seems to be working an a test machine (NT4, Apache 1.3.19, PHP 4.0.6,
cURL 7.8) but I moved things to another server and it fails to POST the file
name (NT4, Apache 2.0.36, PHP 4.2.1, cURL 7.9)

Any idea?

Could anyone provide me with a working piece of code to do sthg like this?
(Sorry I'm a newbie and I would need this to be able to make a demo site
next week- would be able to spend more time soon to work on this)

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks
