Problem with $ _FILES and cURL

Question

I am having problems sending $ _FILES using cURL - the files are transferred in the order using the following code, however, it is impossible for me to get the name and file type, in fact, once $ _FILES is reached their purpose is, their type is stored as "application / octet stream " - what am I doing wrong!?

 $count=count($_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name']);

 for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++) {
  if(!empty($_FILES['thefile']['name'][$i])) {
   $postargs[$i] = '@'.$_FILES['thefile']['tmp_name'][$i];
  }
 }


 $header = array("Content-type: multipart/form-data");
 $ch = curl_init('http://localhost/curl/rec.php');
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");  
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false); 
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING,"");
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$header);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,TRUE);
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postargs);
 curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch)

You have to build $ postargs like this,

 $postargs = array();
 foreach ($_FILES as $param => $file) {
     $postargs[$param] = '@' . $file['tmp_name'] . ';filename=' . $file['name'] . ';type=' . $file['type'];
 }
