How to get PUT/DELETE arguments in PHP
httprequest, php
Solution
Can you try this, PHP doesn't have a built-in way to do this, can be read from the incoming stream to PHP, `php://input`.
parse_str(file_get_contents("php://input"),$post_vars);
EX:
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
echo "this is a get request\n";
echo $_GET['fruit']." is the fruit\n";
echo "I want ".$_GET['quantity']." of them\n\n";
} elseif($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'PUT') {
echo "this is a put request\n";
parse_str(file_get_contents("php://input"),$post_vars);
echo $post_vars['fruit']." is the fruit\n";
echo "I want ".$post_vars['quantity']." of them\n\n";
}
