2
3 Add form fields and files to the message body.
4
5 > **Note:** Currently, http\Message\Body::addForm() creates "multipart/form-data" bodies.
6
7 ## Params:
8
9 * array $fields = NULL
10 List of form fields to add.
11
12 * array $files = NULL
13 List of form files to add.
14
15 $fields must look like:
16
17 [
18 "field_name" => "value",
19 "multi_field" => [
20 "value1",
21 "value2"
22 ]
23 ]
24
25 $files must look like:
26
27 [
28 [
29 "name" => "field_name",
30 "type" => "content/type",
31 "file" => "/path/to/file.ext"
32 ], [
33 "name" => "field_name2",
