This makes a plain normal post and not a multipart one.

The PHP/CURL multipart formpost API is rather... eh, silly, if you ask me and
is very limited. This is just one of its drawbacks: you cannot send several

You can only set one CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.

Yes, use the curl command line tool (from your PHP script). It can do this
just fine, using the -F option.
