I am trying to create the following command with the php curl
functions:
curl -F "data=@xxxxxxxxxx" "http://path/to/api";
The problem i'm having is that i'm creating the xml file with php -
so the contents are stored in a variable. How can I send the
contents of that variable via curl? I thought just assigning the
xml variable to data would work - but it hasn't.
Any suggestions?

What I can suggest
1. save the XML to file eg xmldata.xml and use
system('curl -F "data=@xxxxxxxxxxx" "http://path/to/api"; ');
2. or Use PHP CURL functions
fufunction postData($postFileds,$url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ,$postFileds);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP
HEADERS
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,1); // RETURN THE
CONTENTS OF THE CALL
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$xmlData = 'some xml data';
$postFileds = 'data='. urlencode($xmlData);
//call function
postData($postFileds,"http://path/to/api";);
