Here's an example I posted about 6 months ago. Worked well for me.

Subject: REST Upload Shapefile using PHP cURL
Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:39:07 -0600
From: Ryan Williams <rwilli...@paqinteractive.com>

Hello all,
I've been working on a PHP cURL version of the cURL example that uploads
a ZIP file containing a shapefile and creates a new datastore in Geoserver.
I've been testing it out and have an example that is working for me. I
attached an annotated copy of the script to this email.
This script is based on the POST example in the Geoserver REST Extension
examples and a PHP cURL file upload example from
http://shivakvs.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/file-upload-php/ per Arne
Kepp's suggestion, and the suggestions of the web programmers that I
work with.
Please share any ideas for improvements.
I have a simple web page setup that includes a form with a file input
and a submit button. When that page loads, it also runs a function in
this php file to see if a file is in the request header. If there is,
then the REST Upload script is run.
I think an example similar to this would be nice to have in the REST
Configuration Extension docs.
It's really cool how well these REST tools work.

array of file name parts

the uploaded zip file

created in your default workspace. see the REST extension documentation on the
Geoserver website to learn more.
