Hi there!
I’m currently working on a RESTful API using Codeigniter. One thing that bothered me was the lack of accessing the passed arguments when the HTTP-method is set to either DELETE or PUT. So I wrote a simple extension to the existing input library. Any thoughts or feedback is much appreciated!
<?php
class MY_Input extends CI_Input {
var $delete;
var $put;
function MY_Input() {
parent::CI_Input();
if ($this->server('REQUEST_METHOD') == 'DELETE') {
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $this->delete);
$this->delete = $this->_clean_input_data($this->delete);
} elseif ($this->server('REQUEST_METHOD') == 'PUT') {
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $this->put);
$this->put = $this->_clean_input_data($this->put);
}
}
function delete($index = '', $xss_clean = FALSE) {
return $this->_fetch_from_array($this->delete, $index, $xss_clean);
}
function put($index = '', $xss_clean = FALSE) {
return $this->_fetch_from_array($this->put, $index, $xss_clean);
}
}
?>
Thanks for the feedback.
