PHP Reading Request Data Uploading files with HTTP PUT
Example
PHP provides support for the HTTP PUT method used by some clients to store files on a server. PUT requests are much simpler than a file upload using POST requests and they look something like this:
PUT /path/filename.html HTTP/1.1
Into your PHP code you would then do something like this:
<?php
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");
/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen("putfile.ext", "w");
/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
and write to the file */
while ($data = fread($putdata, 1024))
fwrite($fp, $data);
/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?>
