Send PUT request with PHP cURL

Question

I'm trying to communicate with a web service who's waiting first a token in each request. There is my problem, the web service is waiting the token throught file_get_contenst(php://input).

I didn't find a way to send cURL request trought this method (sending raw data/put data instead of Post). Could some one guides me ?

I tried something like :

$fp = fopen('php://temp/maxmemory:256000', 'w');
fwrite($fp, TOKEN);
fseek($fp, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp); // file pointer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($json));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, true);

We could also use `file_get_contents` with a custom HTTP `stream context`. Check [*here*](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2153670/4058484). – eQ19 Apr 11 '15 at 05:38

HTTP PUT method is generally used to update resource.
First need to bring (GET) resource information.
and then update resource information according your parameters.
Finally, make PUT request to server.

In php, curl is used for making rest calls. HTTP GET and POST are directly supported in curl. But for PUT and DELETE you have to set options accordingly in curl_setopt()

     $curl = curl_init($url);

     **curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,"PUT")**;
     curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);

     curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);

     curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
     curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$update_para);

     $curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
