PHP Curl - Upload file to Sharepoint

Question

Should I be able to use PHP Curl to upload a file to Sharepoint. I have this logic that I am using at the moment to "try" and upload to "My Shared Document" for now.

$the_file = file_get_contents('index.html');

$user = '&&&&&&&';
$pass = '&&&&&&&';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: multipart/form-data"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$pass");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://&&&&.net/personal/&&&&&&&/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

$post = array('file_contents' => "the_file");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if(curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo json_encode('Error: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
else {
    echo json_encode($response);
}

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

When you upload a file through curl, few things you need to consider.

use @ with file path to upload the file directly. example:

$post = array('file_contents' => "@/home/xyz/the_file");
// if you have parameter with the file, then it will be,
$post = array('uid' => 110, 'file_contents' => "@/home/xyz/the_file");

2. You don't need to specify this header "Content-type: multipart/form-data". It will be added automatically when you use @ with your file parameter.
