Comments on: Parsing PUT requests in PHP http://www.joestump.net/2008/05/parsing-put-requests-in-php.html Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:35:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Ian http://www.joestump.net/2008/05/parsing-put-requests-in-php.html#comment-20105 Ian Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:07:08 +0000 http://www.joestump.net/2008/05/parsing-put-requests-in-php.html#comment-20105 Joe, working on a RESTful service as well, and this is the only way I could dig up to parse PUT requests (also works for DELETE if you ever need to send body for some odd reason). One thing I've done that might make life a bit easier in some cases is to use JSON to chuck the data around, but you still end up having to do some goofy stuff to get the string sanitized so it can be properly json_encoded / decoded. Separately, it gets even goofier when you need to make PUT requests in your code, as you need to stream the data into memory before you can curl it, as curl PUTs only accept files... definitely need some better native support for REST in php.

Works for me, though. Thanks! This is defiantly something that needs to be addressed in future versions of PHP. Works for me, though. Thanks!

I'd still have to use <code>parse_str()</code> to import the data. Additionally, the method I've outlined doesn't require loading another module.

I found <a href="http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.HttpRequest-getPutData.php" rel="nofollow">this in the PHP manual</a>. Not sure if it will do what you need it to.
