php - Curl and post to upload a file to a server using an API

Question

Im trying to upload a file using an API from a server. i'm using php 7.2 and all documentation from the api is for old php versions. Problem is I don't know how to send this file using curl. My code right know is something like this:

 CURLOPT_URL => “http://mySite/MyFolder/api/library?envelope=1”,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => “”,
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => “POST”,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(‘files’ => $_FILES[“UploadedMedia”], ‘expires’ => $fechaExpiracion),

I've never used curl before and the posts i've seen before use ftp or some other ways to upload files with curl but i have to do it using curl postfields and to the api url as far as i know. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance, Marco.
