Re: Send XML file with curl functions

You should read PHP   manual more often it is a bible for us :)

http://www.php.net/curl_setopt there is example on that page how to upload files. You need to save data to disk first though, which I guess is not a big deal to do the job

The problem is that it is a 3rd party API that I am trying to submit data to. I have submitted a request to make the necessary changes for what I'm trying to do.

Option 2 is what I'm trying to do, but the problem is that when curl
sends the file over the command line, when it's processes via PHP the
attached file comes over $_FILES.



im lost here. in option 2 from Bojan's post there is no attached file. there is only a variable that happens to store xml. if php is handling the request on the system hosting $url from said post then the xml data will be
made available in the $_POST array albiet the 'data' index.
ergo, php on said system would look something like this

<?php
$rawRequestXml = $_POST['data'];
try {
  $requestXml = new SimpleXmlElement($rawRequestXml);
} catch(Exception $e) {
  // do error handling stuff
}
?>




But, added the postdata obviously doesn't allow it to come over that
way. Is there any way to use option 2 and transmit the file so it will
come over under $_FILES?



i dont understand the 'need' to have the request data available in the
$_FILES array; whats wrong w/ $_POST ?
