Get PATCH request data in PHP

I know that this has been solved, but for anyone who was hoping for an answer like

$_PATCH["name"];

there is a way to do that:

parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $_PATCH);

then you can access it like $_GET["something"] and $_POST["something"] just do

$_PATCH["something"]

hope that helped someone :)

You can get data with php://input stream wrapper:

$data = file_get_contents('php://input');

Also make sure your web server supports PATCH requests, some are configured to respond only to GET and POST.
