How do I access PHP REST API PUT data on the server side?

From the PHP Manual:

PUT data comes from stdin:

$putdatafp = fopen("php://input", "r");

Example usage:

$putfp = fopen('php://input', 'r');$putdata = '';while($data = fread($putfp, 1024))    $putdata .= $data;fclose($putfp);

I've the same scenario where in, have to send data to the PHP Server through ReST API using the PUT method. I struggled almost couple of hours to find the solution, but finally found the way :

In CUrl :

$postData = http_build_query($data);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postData); 

We've to parse the data to a variable let say: $putData, Here, is the Parse String procedure :

parse_str(file_get_contents("php://input"),$putData); 

Then print the $putData, will get the same array that you're posting in the curl..

If you want to get form data with key value like $_POST.

function PUT(string $name):string{    $lines = file('php://input');    $keyLinePrefix = 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="';    $PUT = [];    $findLineNum = null;    foreach($lines as $num => $line){        if(strpos($line, $keyLinePrefix) !== false){            if($findLineNum){ break; }            if($name !== substr($line, 38, -3)){ continue; }            $findLineNum = $num;        } else if($findLineNum){            $PUT[] = $line;        }    }    array_shift($PUT);    array_pop($PUT);    return mb_substr(implode('', $PUT), 0, -2, 'UTF-8');}

For Example rest-api.php

$title = PUT('title');
