If you want send a file using a post, you have to add ‘@’ before file location in value.

Thx for good article.

What about execution times between the two?

Great article!

But for send urlencoded form, I recommend use this:

curl_setopt($curl_object, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data, ”, ‘&’));

Function http_build_query make url encoding for us with very easy and simply way. Instead foreach cycle…

Thank you so much for posting this information! I was pulling my hair out with POSTing whilst developing a RESTful wrapper class with cURL.

If you use the PHP5 function ‘http_build_query’ your code will be a few line shorter. http_build_query also do urlencoding for key and value.
