Heh, Apache+PHP _is_ a REST framework.
Okay, I've gotten in enough trouble today. But seriously, you may not
need a library unless you're doing something fancy.

Getting the data out of PUT requests is a bit tricky... here's some code:

switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) {
  case 'PUT':
  /* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
  $putdata = file_get_contents("php://input");

That worked in php 5.1 on unix, not sure about other versions or platforms.
