I am trying to declare HTTP PUT variable in php. This is my code:

<?php ${"_" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']} = /* What should be here? */; ?>

I tried var_dump($_SERVER) but it does not contain the data sent using ajax request. I am sure there is no problem with $.ajax().

    @ErikKalkoken It is completely valid, try ${"_PUT"}="hi"; var_dump($_PUT); Commented Feb 5, 2018 at 8:54

    @ErikKalkoken I understand, you were probably judging me on based of reputation. Rep is just a number :) Anyways, have a nice day :) Commented Feb 5, 2018 at 9:00

While there is no official $_PUT variable in PHP, you can create one yourself like this:

$method = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; if ('PUT' === $method) { parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $_PUT); var_dump($_PUT); //$_PUT contains put fields }
