title: upload multiple files to php server using curl command line
body: <p>I need to upload multiple files to a server using the curl command line utility. for a single file I have no problem using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -F "image=@file1.gif"   http://localhost:8888/web/Upload.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>how would I do this with more than one file so that the php variable $_FILES["image"]["error"] would return an array?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -F "image=@file1.gif" -F "image=@file2.gif"  http://localhost:8888/web/Upload.php
  curl -F "image=@file1.gif,image=@file2.gif"  http://localhost:8888/web/Upload.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but these are a stab in the dark.</p>
