I have added route to update emails in a database which uses PUT method

`$app->put('/notifications/{email}', 'add_email_address');`

and function for it looks like:

```
function add_email_address($request, $response, $args) {

  $email = $args['email'];
      $addon_email = $request->getParam('addon_email', null);

      echo "ADD/UPDATE $email with $addon_email";

}

```

somehow on testing PUT method with a form input post addon\_email = [test@null.com](mailto:test@null.com) retrieved value for `$addon_email` is empty

Any tips what I’m doing wrong?

I have got it to work by changing

`$addon_email = $app->request->getParam('addon_email', null);`

to

```
$allPostPutVars = $request->getParsedBody();
$addon_email = $allPostPutVars['addon_email'];

```

It looks like getParam works only for GET method. Also content-type must be set as x-www-form-urlencoded
