Method

Every HTTP request has a method (e.g. GET or POST). You can obtain the current HTTP request method via the Slimapplication’s request object:

  1. /**
  2.  * What is the request method?
  3.  * @return string (e.g. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
  4.  */
  5. $app->request->getMethod();
  7. /**
  8.  * Is this a GET request?
  9.  * @return bool
  10.  */
  11. $app->request->isGet();
  13. /**
  14.  * Is this a POST request?
  15.  * @return bool
  16.  */
  17. $app->request->isPost();
  19. /**
  20.  * Is this a PUT request?
  21.  * @return bool
  22.  */
  23. $app->request->isPut();
  25. /**
  26.  * Is this a DELETE request?
  27.  * @return bool
  28.  */
  29. $app->request->isDelete();
  31. /**
  32.  * Is this a HEAD request?
  33.  * @return bool
  34.  */
  35. $app->request->isHead();
  37. /**
  38.  * Is this a OPTIONS request?
  39.  * @return bool
  40.  */
  41. $app->request->isOptions();
  43. /**
  44.  * Is this a PATCH request?
  45.  * @return bool
  46.  */
  47. $app->request->isPatch();
  49. /**
  50.  * Is this a XHR/AJAX request?
  51.  * @return bool
  52.  */
  53. $app->request->isAjax();
