New Comment:
I'm coding a Service Oriented system, and according to REST principles,
I should be able to call a service with a PUT or DELETE method.
For example, using AJAX, in JavaScript I would write something like:
objeto= new XMLHttpRequest();
objeto.open("PUT", "my_own_service.php", true);
objeto.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8");
objeto.onreadystatechange= some_function_of_mine;
objeto.send("a_string_like_field=value&field2=value2");
but then, my_own_service.php would have no way of getting to the PUT
parameters! With POST or GET methods, you can use the $_POST and $_GET
(and even $_REQUEST) arrays, but there are no $_PUT or $_DELETE
equivalent arrays.
Note, however, that this is *not* just an AJAX problem; if you require
a PHP service from within another PHP service, you would code something
like:
$ch= curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "my_own_service.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"a_string_like_field=value&field2=value2");
$result= curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Of course, this points out yet ANOTHER problem... there is no
CURLOPT_PUTFIELDS! Since the format is the same, I assume my way should
work, but I cannot even get to test it until I have a way of getting to
the PUT parameters from within PHP.
So, to resume it all, it seems to me:
* there should be $_PUT and $_DELETE arrays
* curl should support CURLOPT_PUTFIELDS, *or* make it clearer that
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is to be used.
Hope I was clearer this time!
Best regards,
Federico Kereki

Description:
------------
When coding Web Services according to REST ideas, there is no way to
get PUT or DELETE parameters -- something like $_GET or $_POST is
needed. You can invoke a service using curl, but only GET and POST can
be used; if you use PUT or DELETE you cannot get the parameters in PHP.
