Which is a common method to send data (and also the only way to send files).

Here's how to emulate $_DELETE: parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $_DELETE); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-01 21:59:24] andreas dot s dot t dot jansson at gmail dot com If the only contents of the request body is the urlencoded "DELETE parameters" you can retrieve them by using file_get_contents("php://input"). It's not as clean as $_DELETE, but it's a workaround for now at least. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-21 12:33:28] cyberspice at cyberspice dot org dot uk I'd like to take this on. I too have come up against a similar issue and I know of another developer who would be appreciative of it. So I propose I make a patch that adds support for PUT, DELETE and HEAD (for completeness) super globals. Per RFC 2616 PUT is similar to post and can have data both in the URI and the body of the request. DELETE and HEAD are like GET. Since there is already support for POST data in the sapi code and php_variables.c has treat_data() for handling GET. It seems it should be relatively simple to extend for the new variables. What do you think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
