<?php
/* http://example.com/upload.php:
<?php
var_dump($_FILES);
var_dump(file_get_contents($_FILES['test_string']['tmp_name']));
?>
*/

// Create a cURL handle
$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/upload.php');

// Create a CURLStringFile object
$cstringfile = new CURLStringFile('test upload contents','test.txt','text/plain');

// Assign POST data

    string(10) "text/plain"
    ["tmp_name"]=>
    string(14) "/tmp/phpTtaoCz"
    ["error"]=>
    int(0)
    ["size"]=>
    int(20)
  }
}
string(20) "test upload contents"
