Detecting request type in PHP (GET, POST, PUT or DELETE)

How can I detect which request type was used (GET, POST, PUT or DELETE) in PHP?

Solution

  • By using

    $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']

    Example

    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
     // The request is using the POST method
}

    For more details please see the documentation for the $_SERVER variable.
