//get the extension of the image file
$tumbnailExtention = preg_replace(‘/^.*\.([^.]+)$/D’, ‘$1′, $thumbnailPath);
$postFields['thumbnail'] = “@$thumbnailPath;type=image/$tumbnailExtention”;

//metaData
$postFields['title'] = “$title”;
$postFields['description'] = “$description”;

//since I am using localhost I avoided these parameters
//$postFields['tags'] = “”;
//$postFields['licenseinfo'] = “”;
//$postFields['token'] = “”;

$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $http_post_fields);

//execute the API Call
$returned_data = curl_exec($curl_handle);

Now here came the real problem for me, what is the code to be written in page indicate by $api_url? This is the page that is called by curl and all the posted values are passed but what should be done from this page, is codes to be written in it is to save the file to a specific folder(ie move_uploaded_file)
And what the value of $http_post_fields to be assigned.

I really got to make it work,stucked badly.

Opened up IPOD 4th Generation with my fingernails and knife, unplugged and plug hard drive back in, closed it up, reset IPOD with hold on/off, Menu and Select buttons, then request for wall charger, plug into MacBook, and restored via ITunes and sync music. I am back in business in less than 20 minutes. Thank you very much.
