How to get data from php://input?

Question

I have two scripts:

First to send:

$url = "http://localhost/curl2.php";
$data = array('email' => '[email protected]');
$addr = $url . '?' . http_build_query($data);
$ch = curl_init($addr);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_exec($ch);

And second to receive:

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "PUT") {

    $data = array();
    $incoming = file_get_contents("php://input");
    parse_str($incoming, $data);
    echo "Address: " . filter_var($data["email"], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
}

But variable $incoming is empty. How can I do it? Maybe it has something to do with PUT, but I must use PUT.

Use CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS instead of appending your fields to the URI (making them GET parameters). — Kep

PUT is not GET. Use the URL without a query string and add the data to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS:

$url  = "http://localhost/curl2.php";
$data = array('email' => '[email protected]');
$ch   = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
curl_exec($ch);
