From: Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: cURL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Can't post multiple fields with the same name
Description: ------------ With CLI curl I can run curl -F test=value -F test=value --trace-ascii trace http://localhost/test.php and in the file trace I see that it posted multipart/form-data with two fields called "test" with content "value". I need this same behaviour from PHP. But the only way at present, it seems, to add form fields to the curl handle (and have them transmit as multipart/form-data) is to use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data) where $data is an array of name->value pairs. Obviously I can't have two pairs in this array with the same name. I've tried array("name" => array("val1", "val2")) but that posts the string "Array" as the value for field "name". I've tried array("name[]" => array("val1", "val2")) but that posts the string "Array" as the value for field "name[]" (PHP then parses this into an array but only "val2" is in it.) I've tried array("name[]" => "val1", "name[]" => "val2") but of course that doesn't work since as soon as that array is initialized it's only got one element -- the second overwrote the first. I think allowing array("name" => array("val1", "val2")) would be the best solution. (And brackets should not be added to the end of "name" unless specified.) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51634&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51634&r=mysqlcfg
