rest - Codeigniter PUT request -

i try make put request can't. form.

 <form method="put" action="http://localhost/index.php/book">      <input type="text" name="bookname" />      <input type="submit" value="send"/>  </form> 

my controller

<?php     require(apppath.'libraries/rest_controller.php');     class book extends rest_controller {          function index_put(){             echo $this->put('bookname');         }        }  ?> 

the problem not show anything.

the html standard does not support put inside <form method=""> attribute, if put else other post or get should sent get request according spec.

the canonical workaround implemented many framewrok include hidden _method field in form , put actual http verb there. seems using this library, , _method parameter workaround too.
