ID: 51634 User updated by: bart at tremby dot net Reported by: bart at tremby dot net Summary: Can't post multiple fields with the same name Status: Open Type: Bug Package: cURL related Operating System: Ubuntu PHP Version: 5.2.13 New Comment: Where I said 'PHP then parses this into an array but only "val2" is in it.' I meant "Array", not "val2". Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-22 15:06:01] bart at tremby dot net 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51634&edit=1
