Experimental HTTP features

HTTP method override

GET and POST are the only HTTP methods supported by HTML forms in web browsers. In such situations, you can simulate other methods using Inphinit\Experimental\Http\Method::override(). See the example below:


            use Inphinit\Experimental\Http\Method;

            Method::override();

            // E.g., http://localhost/form
            $app->action('GET', '/form', function () {
              echo '<form action="/status" method="POST">';

              // Override
              echo '<input type="hidde" name="_method" value="PUT">';

              echo '<input type="text" name="message"><br>';
              echo '<button>Update status</button>';
              echo '</form>';
            });

            // E.g., http://localhost/status
            $app->action('PUT', '/status', function () {
              echo 'Status updated!<br>';
              echo '<a href="/status?_method=DELETE">clear<a>';
            });

            // E.g., http://localhost/status
            $app->action('DELETE', '/status', function () {
              echo 'Status cleared!';
            });
