PUT requests are very simple, just make sure to specify a content-length header and set post fields as a string.

Example:

<?php
function doPut($url, $fields)
{
$fields = (is_array($fields)) ? http_build_query($fields) : $fields;

if(
$ch = curl_init($url))
{
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Length: ' . strlen($fields)));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_exec($ch);

$status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($ch);

return (int)
$status;
}
else
{
return
false;
}
}

if(
doPut('http://example.com/api/a/b/c', array('foo' => 'bar')) == 200)
// do something
else
// do something else.
?>

You can grab the request data on the other side with:

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'PUT')
{
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $requestData);

// Array ( [foo] => bar )
print_r($requestData);

// Do something with data...
}
?>

DELETE can be done in exactly the same way.
