How to set the cURL request method to PUT or DELETE in PHP?

To set the cURL request method to PUT or DELETE in PHP, you can use the curl_setopt() function.

Here's an example of how to do it:

For PUT request:

// Initialize cURL
$curl = curl_init();

// Set the URL
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/api/endpoint");

// Set the request method to PUT
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");

// Execute the request
$response = curl_exec($curl);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($curl);

For DELETE request:

// Initialize cURL
$curl = curl_init();

// Set the URL
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/api/endpoint");

// Set the request method to DELETE
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");

// Execute the request
$response = curl_exec($curl);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($curl);

In both cases, you first initialize the cURL session using curl_init(), then set the URL with CURLOPT_URL, followed by setting the request method to PUT or DELETE using CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST.

Finally, you execute the request with curl_exec(), capture the response if needed, and close the cURL session with curl_close().
