Proof is in the PUT-ing

An Amaya newbie here - trying to dip my feet into PUT - hi!

Having spent some hours trying to get it to work on my machine (Mac OS 
X), I wondered if people here would be able share how they have 
implemented PUT on their servers? And by 'servers', I think of Apache.

For Apache I know two methods: Either the mod_put module, or a Script 
directive. I first tried mod_put - and gave up. Now I am trying the 
latter, which I'd rather use, if I can manager.

The PHP web site mentions Amaya (even if the Amay web site doesn't 
mention PHP) <http://www.php.net/manual/pl/features.file-upload.php>. 
And it has the actual description here:
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.put-method.php>.

But alas, I don't get the PHP solution to work. THere is probably 
something in the script that I did not understand - or perhaps Amay 
doesn't work with PHP and PUT?

Very glad if someone could shed some light on this for me.
