Difference in terminal and PHP curl versions

Question

I am trying to make a file upload with additional parameters in terminal, I use the -F param to combine all the parameters I need, here is what I got:

curl -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" -F "[email protected]" -F "videoExt=mp4" -F "videoSize=10230" -F "thumbExt=png" -F "thumb=IufIsduSii823" -F "id=8" http://test.dev/test.php

The problem is that on the handling side (test.php) the $_FILES array is empty.

Then I tried to make a simple html form that will post to the handler a file, and I tried to make the curl request with php_curl. Here goes the code:

    $postargs = [
        'videoExt' => 'mp4',
        'id' => 8,
        'thumb' => 'IkJdfjiaskdkI*82',
        'thumbExt' => 'png',
        'videoSize' => '10240'
    ];
foreach ($_FILES as $param => $file) {
        $postargs[$param] = '@' . $file['tmp_name'] . ';filename=' . $file['name'] . ';type=' . $file['type'];
    }

    $header = array("Content-type: multipart/form-data");
    $ch = curl_init('http://localhost:8080');
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING,"");
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$header);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,TRUE);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postargs);
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

This script succesfully makes a curl request to the handler and the file is uploaded. Please advise what is the difference, and how can I achieve that in terminal.

Answer 1

Its work for me, try use -i option, eg.:

curl -i -F "[email protected]" -F "videoExt=mp4" -F "videoSize=10230" -F "thumbExt=png" -F "thumb=IufIsduSii823" -F "id=8" http://localhost:8080

-i, --include Include protocol headers in the output (H/F)
