One of the websites I work with has a form to fill in which includes an
input to allow me to upload a file. I'm trying to write a PHP script to
automate the process, but I can't figure out how to make PHP upload the
file. I've been playing about with curl, but haven't had any luck.
The issue is that the data I want to upload isn't actually in a file;
it's sitting in a variable in a PHP script, and all the examples I've
found seem to assume an existing file, which for various reasons I want
to avoid.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really
appreciate it!

I should have mentioned, this is done over SSL.
Thanks,

Is it that you have the data in a variable and you want to create a
file on your server and insert the data present in the variable into
the file? if so, then fopen(), fwrite() are the functions you should be
looking at.
Look in the manual for detailed information.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and God Bless!!

HC,
I'm not clear what you mean wit "input to allow me to upload a file".
Are you saying you have a field where you place a filename and the file gets
upload? Or is this a textarea you need to paste the contents of the file for
uploading?

Basically, the form has <input type='file'>. The script I'm trying to
write should send data to that for processing.
Ehsan, I do know how to use fopen() and fwrite(), but ideally, I don't
want to have to write the data to a file.
Thanks for both of your replies :)

Well, you can plug a default filename in there. But you can't actually retrieve
the file from the client computer with PHP. You need the user to fill in the
field and submit the form.

Actually, I'm wrong. You can't plug a default filename in. I was thinking of
and text input field.
