I found this in the PHP manual... go figure... I slap myself for not looking
there first...
If you want to post $_POST vars and (in this case) one file named userfile to
$remote_server and $remote_url.
<?php
// get the necessary data
$file_name = $_FILES['userfile']['name']; // the file
$tmp_name = $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; // the file
$content_type = $_FILES['userfile']['type']; // the file mime type
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$boundary = "---------------------".substr(md5(rand(0,32000)),0,10);
// Build the header
$header = "POST $remote_url HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Host: $remote_server\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=$boundary\r\n";
// attach post vars
foreach($_POST AS $index => $value){
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
$data .= "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"".$index."\"\r\n";
$data .= "\r\n".$value."\r\n";
$data .="--$boundary\r\n";
}
// and attach the file
$data .= "--$boundary\r\n";
$content_file = join("", file($tmp_name));
$data .="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\";
filename=\"$file_name\"\r\n";
$data .= "Content-Type: $content_type\r\n\r\n";
$data .= "".$content_file."\r\n";
$data .="--$boundary--\r\n";
$header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n\r\n";
// Open the connection
$fp = fsockopen($remote_server, 80);
// then just
fputs($fp, $header.$data);
fclose($fp);
?>

Thanks, I didn't know wget could do HTTP POST operations.

Look at wget[1] /curl (its supported in all major scripting languages
including php) dpending how much scripting do you need.
wget --post-file --post-data
If the files/data is static or rotated/automated already i would use
wget - just throw it into cron.
If you need any scripting language... you can use anything :) bash
+wget , php, python, perl (if you're into tortures ;)
