implementing PHP's cURL when sending POST requests with multipart/form-data in Laravel 9
I'm attempting to set up Could someone explain I'm experiencing issues when trying to send a multipart/form-data POST request using cURL in Laravel 9... While the request goes through without throwing any exceptions, the server response indicates that the uploaded file is missing. Here's a simplified version of the code I'm using: ```php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://example.com/api/upload'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); $file_path = '/path/to/file.txt'; $post_fields = [ 'file' => new CURLFile($file_path), 'username' => 'testuser' ]; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_errno($ch)) { echo 'behavior: ' . curl_error($ch); } curl_close($ch); ``` The server is built with PHP as well and expects the file parameter to come in as a traditional form upload. I've verified the `$file_path` is correct and the file exists, but when I check the server logs, the `$_FILES` array is empty. I've also tried using `curl_file_create()` instead of `new CURLFile()`, but it didn't resolve the scenario. I've confirmed that the server is set to handle file uploads correctly, with sufficient `post_max_size` and `upload_max_filesize` set in the php.ini. I also tried using Postman to send the same request and it worked perfectly, so it seems to be an scenario with how I'm structuring the cURL request in my Laravel application. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario with cURL in PHP or Laravel, and how did you solve it? What's the correct way to implement this? This is happening in both development and production on Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks for your help in advance!
