Instead of creating a temp file on disk you can use php://temp.

$body = 'the RAW data string I want to send';

/** use a max of 256KB of RAM before going to disk */
$fp = fopen('php://temp/maxmemory:256000', 'w');

if (!$fp) 
{
    die('could not open temp memory data');
}

fwrite($fp, $body);
fseek($fp, 0); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp); // file pointer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($body));                            

The upside is no disk IO so it should be faster and less load on your server.
