Posting an associative array with php-curl is possible
After hours of work I once came up with the following solution:

The associative array:
$salaries["Bob"] = 2000;
$salaries["Sally"] = 4000;
$salaries["Charlie"] = 600;
$salaries["Clare"] = 0;

The only way you can send this is by serialize and urlencode. You must
urlencode it because otherwise [] are seen as new POST-fields:

And off you go.
At the receiving script you only have to unserialize.

As example Sending script:
curl_setopt ($conn, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ,
'salaries='.urlencode(serialize($salaries)));

Receiving script:
$salaries = unserialize($_POST['salaries']);

Even multiarray's can be send this way.

An alternative approach that might work for you is to use the curl command
line tool - simply invoked from your PHP program.
