Hi. I've not been a member for too long so I might have missed if this have been discussed earlier.
But I've created a small PR to the basic request handling to support PUT, PATCH and DELETE. https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1519 Summary: Added support for request methods with the smallest change possible. History: HTTP 1.0 had only support for GET, POST and HEAD. In June of 1999 HTTP 1.1 added the verbs PUT and DELETE and later in 2010 RFC5789 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5789) added PATCH. Pull request explaination: In this pull request I try to add put, patch and delete with changing as few functions as possible. I simply handle the new verbs as POST. As defined in HTTP 1.1 they are similar in input data requirements and differ only in usage. More work I could do is add new globals for $_PUT, $_PATCH and $_DELETE but I think this might be more confusing. Or we could move from $_POST to a new global not tied to a verb. Example $_PARSED_INPUT
