C# Use WebClient.UploadFile(string, string) to upload to a Apache & PHP webserver

Question

The C# WebClient.UploadFile(string, string) sample on MSDN shows how to make it work with an ASPX page handling the upload. However I have a Apache server with PHP set up to handle my subversion repos. I have very little web programming knowledge, but would like to know...

Can my Apache/PHP web server handle a file from a c# client using WebClient.UploadFile() and can someone give me a small example of what to do...

I know it's a n00b request, but any help would be appreciated

@Redshirt: You might want to consider changing the question, as it doesn't have anything to do with C# or .NET. The HTTP file POST operation is standardized, so it's not something specific to the client, but rather, the server. — casperOne

I was thinking of leaving it as-is, that way any .net programmer having the same issue would stumble upon it. If I change it, it implies that the user already knows that POST is standardized, which I did not. — Redshirt

The section of the PHP documentation on handling file uploads is what you are looking for.

The mechanism for handling file uploads over HTTP is standardized in RFC1867, so it doesn't matter whether you use .NET or another type of client, they will all do adhere to the protocol.
