note 123293 added to reserved.variables.server

Remember, Although $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] is initially built with GET, POST, PUT, HEAD in mind, a server can allow more. This may be important if you're building a RESTful interfaces that will also use methods such as PATCH and DELETE. Also important as a security risk as a possible point of injection. In the event of building something acting based on REQUEST_METHOD, it's recommended to put it in a switch statement. <?php switch ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]){ case "PUT": foo_replace_data(); break; case "POST": foo_add_data(); break; case "HEAD"; foo_set_that_cookie(); break; case "GET": default: foo_fetch_stuff() break; } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.43.231.9 Probable Submitter: 2600:1:9820:d9a2:914e:cc2a:9148:5d0e ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/123293 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/123293 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/123293 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
