Compatibility library with CURLFile from PHP 5.5

CURLFile Compatibility Library

, _(*1)

Compatibility library to add a CURLFile class to older versions of PHP. The RFC has some more information on it as well., _(*2)

This class abuses the fact that the PHP CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option will coerce classes to strings when sending it as data, and outputs the older style of including files in the post data., _(*3)

Installation

New school or old school, your choice., _(*4)

For a new school installation with Composer simply add it to your list of dependencies., _(*5)

If you're kicking it old school you've got to require src/CURLFile.php and src/imnotjames/CURLFILE.php., _(*6)

Either way, the non-namespaced CURLFile will only be created if the class doesn't already exist. Same goes for the create_curl_file function., _(*7)

Usage

Exactly the same as PHP's CURLFile', _(*8)

$handle = curl_init('http://example.com');

$cfile = new CURLFile('puppy.jpg','image/jpeg','puppy_boquet');

// Assign POST data
$data = array('test_file' => $cfile);

curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_exec($handle);
