Hello. I'm using version 1.16, and I'm trying to use curl to call the API to upload files specified in a form by the user. So, the user submits via a POST the file they want to upload, and the php copies that file to a temporary spot on the server. I then use curl to tell the API to upload that file, but it says

<error code="uploaddisabled" info="Uploads are not enabled...

Even though I can totally upload through Special:Upload just fine. Here's the curl (this is after obtaining an edit token in code that works fine as a setup for creating new articles):

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookiefile.txt');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookiefile.txt');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: multipart/form-data"));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://$server_name/w/api.php?action=upload&token=$edittoken&filenam... filename&url=http://$server_name/upload_tmp/$filename");

I'm also confused as to how to call it using the 'file' option instead, as the manual says if takes 'file contents', and the examples has 'file=file_contents_here'. When I try that method with the curl

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://$server_name/w/api.php?action=upload&token=$edittoken&filenam... filename&file=file_contents_here");

then I get the error:

<error code="missingparam" info="One of the parameters sessionkey, file, url is required"

So, what's 'file contents' supposed to contain? Thanks for the help.
