PHP File Upload using cURL; Uploading a file using cURL just like a form POST

Upload a file using PHP and cURL.

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true);  // return web page string
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER => false);         // don't return headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false); // follow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://127.0.0.1/upload.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( 'image' => '@' . getcwd() . '/image.jpg',));
echo curl_exec($ch);
