cURL Upload Help

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

OK, I am creating a bridge from a local program to my website and I am trying to find the best way to upload the client file from the local program (which is a CSV file) to my server. I was thinking I could use cURL to accomplish this feat. Basically the local program will invoke a batch file that opens my site with the path of the local file (which is the same file name and path everytime), then use cURL to upload that file to my server to be parsed and input into the database. Can this be done?
If so, I would have to just point the cURL to the .php file that would accept the uploaded file correct? And could I use POST for this with multi-form data and not PUT? Any input on this would be great, thanks.
Maybe something similar to this...
Code: $file='testWordDoc.doc';

echo $file;

$ch = curl_init('http://myurl.com/recieve_posted.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('file'=>"@$file",'testkey'=>'test value'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print "$postResult";
