windows curl command line won't accept an array of files

Question

I'm trying to upload a set of 3 files simultaneously to a LAMP server using the command line version of curl on Windows. The following command (referenced here) works perfectly on the linux version but doesn't send any files on when I try it on Windows port:

curl.exe -F file[][email protected] -F file[][email protected] -F file[]=3.mp4 https://www.blah.com/upload.php

upload.php accepts and processes the files:

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
        $total = count($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
        for ($i = 0; $i < $total; $i++) {
               //process files
        }
 }

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

accepts and processes the files. I'll add a piece of the code. — UltrasoundJelly

the PHP file works with multifile uploads. from linux curl, but only w/ a single file at a time with Windows curl. — UltrasoundJelly

If anyone else has trouble with this, I was able to get this to work by with following command:

curl.exe -F [email protected] -F [email protected] -F file3=3.mp4 https://www.blah.com/upload.php

Then with php I iterated through the files like so:

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
        foreach($_FILES as $file){
            $tempFile = $file['tmp_name'];
            $name       = $file['name'];
            //do something...
        }
}
