-To submit a form with file uploads, it is your responsibility to encode the body
-according to the ``multipart/form-data`` content-type. The
-:doc:`Symfony Mime ` component makes it a few lines of code::
+To submit a form with file uploads, pass the file handle to the ``body`` option::
- use Symfony\Component\Mime\Part\DataPart;
- use Symfony\Component\Mime\Part\Multipart\FormDataPart;
+ $fileHandle = fopen('/path/to/the/file' 'r');
+ $client->request('POST', 'https://...', ['body' => ['the_file' => $fileHandle]]);

- $formData = new FormDataPart($formFields);
- $client->request('POST', 'https://...', [
- 'headers' => $formData->getPreparedHeaders()->toArray(),
- 'body' => $formData->bodyToIterable(),
- ]);
+By default, this code will populate the filename and content-type with the data
+of the opened file, but you can configure both with the PHP streaming configuration::
+
+ stream_context_set_option($fileHandle, 'http', 'filename', 'the-name.txt');
+ stream_context_set_option($fileHandle, 'http', 'content_type', 'my/content-type');
+
+.. versionadded:: 6.3
+
+ The feature to upload files using handles was introduced in Symfony 6.3.
+ In previous Symfony versions you had to encode the body contents according
+ to the ``multipart/form-data`` content-type using the :doc:`Symfony Mime `
+ component.
