PHP CURL DELETE request

Question

I m trying to do a DELETE http request using PHP and cURL   I have read how to do it many places  but nothing seems to work for me   This is how I do it   public function curl req  path  json  req         ch   curl init  this- gt   url  path        data   json encode  json       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   req       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS   data       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT HTTPHEADER  array  Content-Type  application json   Content-Length      strlen  data          result   curl exec  ch        result   json decode  result       return  result      I then go ahead and use my function   public function deleteUser  extid         path     rest user    extid    token    this- gt   token       result    this- gt curl req  path     DELETE        return  result       This gives me HTTP internal server ERROR   In my other functions using the same curl req method with GET and POST  everything goes well    So what am I doing wrong

I finally solved this myself  If anyone else is having this problem  here is my solution   I created a new method   public function curl del  path         url    this- gt   url  path       ch   curl init        curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT URL   url       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   DELETE         result   curl exec  ch        httpCode   curl getinfo  ch  CURLINFO HTTP CODE       curl close  ch        return  result      Update 2  Since this seems to help some people  here is my final curl DELETE method  which returns the HTTP response in JSON decoded object             desc    Do a DELETE request with cURL        param   string  path   path that goes after the URL fx    user login      param   array   json   If you need to send some json with your request                             For me delete requests are always blank     return  Obj     result HTTP response from REST interface in JSON decoded      public function curl del  path   json              url    this- gt   url  path       ch   curl init        curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT URL   url       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   DELETE        curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS   json       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true        result   curl exec  ch        result   json decode  result       curl close  ch        return  result
