So, Perl or PHP or Rubi, or JavaScript (client-side or server-side)? Which code should send the request and have files, client-side or server-side?

HTML5 is capable of sending multiple files. PHP is also capable of receiving multiple file. i don't know about perl or ruby. By the way, do you know whatever you are doing? Your tagging is suggesting otherwise.

I am able to send 2 files in a single Http request using Node.js.
But facing issues in PHP. Here is my code:

$data = array( 'file2'=>'@C:/temp/Test_1.doc;filename=Test_1.doc',
'file1'=>'@C:/temp/Tes_1.xml;filename=Test_1.xml'
);

$mydata = http_build_query($postfields);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: multipart/form-data"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $signedURI);
$page = curl_exec($ch);
$header = curl_getinfo( $ch );
print_r($page);

any idea?

I am able to do it in PHP as well. Here is the Code:

I have PHP 5.6.3

PHP

$data1 = array(  'file2' => new CurlFile('C:/temp/Test_1.doc', 'application/msword'),
                'file1' => new CurlFile('C:/temp/Test_1.xml', 'text/xml')
        );

$mydata = http_build_query($postfields);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: multipart/form-data"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $signedURI);

$responseStream = curl_exec($ch);
$header = curl_getinfo( $ch );

if ($header['http_code'] == 200)
     print_r("File uploaded successfully");
     saveFile($responseStream, $outPath); // your save file to disk logic
