 New Comment:

I know this has been said MANY times but I can't believe this is still not implemented.

I get that it may not have been so essential in 2011 but in 2020 we now live in an age of REST APIs.

Having to break RESTful convention due to this feature not being implemented is literally crazy.

Is there anything I (or anybody else that needs this) can do to speed up getting it implemented?

Thanks.

This needs to go through the RFC process. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

How ca, this be solved?

Change the type of ini setting enable_post_data_reading to a string. This setting takes
a comma-separated list with methods. E.g. "POST,PUT,PATCH".

For BC also allow a boolean: true is "POST" and false is
"".

This will likely need to be proposed as RFC rather than a simple patch.

The but exising over 8 years! Really, for me it sounds like:
- Me: Hey PHP, I want to implement nice restful API
- PHP: OK
... over time ...
- Me: What? I cant use PUT to modify my entity? WTF dude?
- Reqeust parsing for PUT is not implemented
- Why?
- Because maintainers __believe__ it should not be done for PUT
- This literally means: go and f**k urself man becasue now I forced to broke my perfectly designed
API by using POST whilest it must be PUT.

In age of RESTful API we cant simply use PUT, perfect!

Was there any development to allow multipart/form-data on PATCH, PUT, DELETE.. type of requests?

PHP is not suitable for RESTful API development not having this supported.

Parse body for any kind of requests.
Keep old superglobals, make them deprecated [get,post]
Introduce http_request_body_raw, http_request_body_parsed, http_request_arguments.
Its realy bad currently having no chance getting the request body for a patch request, f.e.
we definitly need proper http handling for the http-api world.
