Post file array with PHP curl

I want to post an array of files to a server using PHP and curl. In HTML it looks as follows:



<form method="POST" type="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="fieldx" value="123"/>
<input type="file" name="localfile"/>
<input type="file" name="localfile"/>
</form>


The same should be done with CURL:



$postParameters['fieldx'] = "123";
$postParameters['localfile'] = array("fulllocalfilepath1", "fulllocalfilepath2");

$request = curl_init('http://server.abc');
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt(
$request,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
$postParameters
);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$rawData = curl_exec($request);
curl_close($request);


But the server does not receive the localfile array when using CURL. What is the correct command for sending the files?



Regards,

          • you can also do $postParameters['localfile']=>array((new cURLFile("fulllocalfilepath1", "mime", "readable name 1")), (new cURLFile("fulllocalfilepath2", "mime", "readable name 2")));
