$req =& new HTTP_Request("http://upload.example.com/upload.php");
$req->setBasicAuth("johndoe""foo");
$req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST);

$result $req->addFile('file_upload_field''/home/johndoe/text.pdf''application/pdf');
if (
PEAR::isError($result)) {
    echo 
$result->getMessage();
} else {

    
$response $req->sendRequest();

PEAR::isError($response)) {
        echo 
$response->getMessage();
    } else {
