I didn't find any specification stating that it takes a string
parameter.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

There are dozens of examples where a string or an array is used and i
have also tried both successfully. The problem is only on this one
particular web site I'm posting to.

I need to use an array and not a string because for posting a file
upload one needs to use this syntax:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array('mypic'=>"@path/to/image.gif") );

I tested that this works on my localhost and online testing server.
