<p>I'm trying to send a PHP file stored on my server to another server via Curl PHP Form Data method. </p> <p>Normally this is done by submitting the form and uploading a file and sending the same file as form data to the Curl PHP endpoint, but in this case I already have the file on my server and I Stuck on the part of how to get the file and create its form data array and send the API Url as post method. </p> <p>Below is some kind of program I'm trying. One of them is to create a tmp file and store data in it and send that data from tmp location to curl form data. </p> <p>$source = file_get_contents("https://url/employee_manual3.pdf");</p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">$tempFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'File_'); rename($tempFile, $tempFile .= '.pdf'); file_put_contents($tempFile, $source); // var_dump($tempFile); //exit; // $post = array( // "uploadedFile" => "@" . $tempFile, //"@".$tempFile.";type=application/pdf", // ); // var_dump(file_get_contents($tempFile)); // var_dump(new CURLFILE($tempFile)); //exit; $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($curl, array( CURLOPT_URL => 'https://API_URL', CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => '', CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST', CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array('file' => new CURLFILE($tempFile)), CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array( 'Authorization: Bearer API TOKEN HAI MERA', 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data', 'Cookie: MAIN NAHI BATAUNGA' ), )); $response = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); echo $response;</pre> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;"></pre></p>

// $source = file_get_contents("https://URL/assets/email_images/employee_manual3.pdf");

    $file_path = __DIR__.'/../../../assets/email_images/employee_manual3.pdf';

    // var_dump(__DIR__.'/../../../assets/email_images/employee_manual3.pdf');
    // exit;
