copied!<p>When the browser is uploading a file to the server, it sends an HTTP POST request, that contains the file's content.</p> <p>You'll have te replicate that.</p> <p><br> With PHP, the simplest <em>(or, at least, most used)</em> solution is probably to work with <a href="http://fr2.php.net/curl" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong><code>curl</code></strong></a>.</p> <p>If you take a look at the list of options you can set with <a href="http://fr2.php.net/curl_setopt" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong><code>curl_setopt</code></strong></a>, you'll see this one : <strong><code>CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS</code></strong> <em>(quoting)</em> :</p> <blockquote> <p>The full data to post in a HTTP "POST" operation. <br><strong>To post a file, prepend a filename with @ and use the full path</strong>. <br>This can either be passed as a urlencoded string like 'para1=val1&para2=val2&...' or as an array with the field name as key and field data as value. <br>If value is an array, the Content-Type header will be set to multipart/form-data.</p> </blockquote> <p><br> Not tested, but I suppose that something like this should do the trick -- or, at least, help you get started :</p> <pre><code>$ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/your-destination-script.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( 'file' => '@/..../file.jpg', // you'll have to change the name, here, I suppose // some other fields ? )); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); </code></pre> <p>Basically, you :</p> <ul> <li>are using curl</li> <li>have to set the destination URL</li> <li>indicate you want <code>curl_exec</code> to return the result, and not output it</li> <li>are using <code>POST</code>, and not <code>GET</code></li> <li>are posting some data, including a file -- note the <code>@</code> before the file's path.</li> </ul>
