    <?php var_dump($_FILES); ?>
    */

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

    // Create a CURLFile object
    $cfile = new CURLFile('cats.jpg','image/jpeg','test_name');

    // Assign POST data
    $data = array('test_file' => $cfile);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
