In curl lingo, we don't speak of "upload" when we do a POST. A POST is just a
POST. Thus, you should not set the upload option. In your case, you do a
multipart formpost. (The differentiation may not matter, but the PHP/CURL
module has opted for a different approach to offer multipart support so PHP
programmers can't compare with other languages when it comes to this.)

This is not what you want.

And this isn't either.

You want to use the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS instead.

And you don't want this.

While this is POST data, it is not multipart data like you provided with the
command line tools.
