Description:
------------
The docs at https://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php state that the REQUEST_METHOD variable contains:

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources[1]. Since the

to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
