This class can handles HTTP PUT data like POST files.

It can read the current HTTP request input stream and process it to make it appear as it was made of files uploaded via the HTTP POST method.

The class returns arrays of data values that may be assigned to the $_FILES super-global to allow applications to process it like HTTP POST file upload requests.

It also returns an array with other submitted request values that can be assigned to $_PUT variable.

Prize: One downloadable copy of Komodo IDE		 Most PHP sites take file upload requests using the HTTP POST method. However, REST APIs also take file uploads using the HTTP PUT method.

This class simplifies the handling of HTTP PUT method file uploads by setting request variables to allow applications treat them as HTTP POST requests.

<?php

$data = array();

new stream($data);

$_PUT = $data['post'];
$_FILES = $data['file'];

/*
 * Handle moving the file(s)
 *
 * Because using move_uploaded_file() will fail due to
 * is_uploaded_file() returning false using rename()
 * to move the file is required.
 *
 * Please take caution prior to making a file publicly
 * accessible by using functions to validate the file
 * first. Please see the following functions: getimagesize(),
 * fileinfo() etc.
 */
if (count($_FILES) > 0) {
    foreach($_FILES as $key => $value) {
        if (!is_uploaded_file($value['tmp_name'])) {
            // Important: Santize and validate the file first!
            rename($value['tmp_name'], '/path/to/uploads/'.$value['name']);
        } else {
            move_uploaded_file($value['tmp_name'], '/path/to/uploads/'.$value['name']);
