php PUT and DELETE

[samdyk]

hi all,

i wonder if php 5 have such variable $_PUT[] and $_DELETE[]. but i am sure that php 5 have $_POST[] and $_GET[].

if not have $_PUT[] and $_DELETE[], what can we do to handle such data in this PUT Request and DELETE Request.

thanks if have some idea about that.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld samdyk,

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. Obviously php does not have those superglobal arrays.

maybe a little example might help demonstrate the situation better.

Is this relating to FTP ?

Probably not, I think samdyk is referring to RFC2616 PUT and DELETE methods. The information is available, just that it is going to be in either the $_SERVER or the $_ENV superglobals and the content in STDIN.

Outside of the security issues, you would process a PUT request by checking the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] to make sure it is a PUT method, get your filename from REQUEST_URI or probably PATH_TRANSLATED, read $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] bytes from STDIN (php://stdin/) [php.net], write your data out to the file and return your 201 or 204 status code to the user.
