Is it possible to send a string with curl as a file?

Question

PHP

It is necessary to send a file as one of the POST parameters. Usually done with @ , like so:

$post = array(
        "file_to_upload"=>"@/path/to/myfile.jpg",
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); 

I have the content of myfile.jpg in a variable and would like to avoid saving it to a temporary file on disk.

Is it possible to do this?
