Uploading File from C Client to PHP Server

I got a C client which needs to upload a file to web server. I am opening the file and sending it using Windows libraries.

On the server side I would like to write a PHP script that save the file.

Question #1: Since this is not the usual HTML FORM POST to PHP - how do I transfer the filename along with it's data? Using POST '/upload.php?file=filename' and sending the data in the body is recommended? If i use this, i can grab the filename via $_GET and file content via $_POST.

Question #2: What happens if file spans more than 1 packet? I need to track the connection somehow on the PHP side to append the POST body to the file. Is there any clean way to do it?

Thank You!

You should try libcurl, it can do file upload too.

Alternatively, you can learn about multipart/form-data mime type and how it encodes files and metadata. In short, you split the request body in parts with a boundary, and add headers to each file.
