Auto submitting a form that contains a file field

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using php 5. Does anyone have any code or a function that auto
submits a form that contains a single INPUT, of type = file?

Thanks, - Dave

Nope. Can't do it with PHP. PHP is server side, and you need client side.

Actually this would be a server side function that POSTs to a URL and
the enctype would be "multipart/form-data". I've found tons of stuff
that auto-submit forms where you can put the parameters in a query
string, but with inputs that are of file types, you can't do that ...
or can you?

Hey Dave,

Do you really need it to be input=file? can't you just load the file,
base64_encode it and send it through an input=text?

Or another method would be making the script with the form in one file
and then using CURL to post that script and posting the file through
CURL. Should work.

No, the POST is from the client end. The result of the POST is server end.

Client end is NOT php. Neither is the enctype nor the <input type=file tag.

From what he's saying I'd think he tries to make an auto-poster to do
posts in another website's form or a form located in another script,
and that si doable using PHP.

No, I read it as he's trying to automatically submit a form from the
browser. But it really isn't clear.

Hi, George interpreted my question correctly. George (and anyone
else), regarding your question

Do you really need it to be input=file? can't you just load the file, base64_encode it

I guess it doesn't have to be input=file. But when you say "load the
file", what do you mean? Thanks, - Dave

A link to the script your are trying to post in would be of much help,
but as I see, you should use either CURL or WGET to post it and use --
post-file in wget or the equivalent in CURL to do the thing.

Hope it helps.

Thanks. As I write the script, I will post more. On the server end,
how do I retrieve the file? For example, in the wget command, I can't
see how you specify the file's parameter name. - Dave

Don't even try to use wget. Rather, use http and submit the file from
your server to the other server.

Google on File upload cURL.
