I’m trying to remove roles from a guild member using PHP and Discord API.

I can add roles to a guild member, but I cannot remove roles from a guild member.

I use the following code template to add roles for guild members.

I assumed that I could swap “PUT” with “DELETE” and it would remove roles from guild members as outlined below.

It’s not working. How can this code be adjusted to remove roles?

$authToken = "bot_token";
$guildid = "guild_id";
$userid = "user_id";
$roleid = "role_id";
$url = "https://discordapp.com/api/v6/guilds/" . $guildid . "/members/" . $userid . "/roles/" . $roleid;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_URL            => $url,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => array(
        'Authorization: Bot '.$authToken,
        "Content-Length: 0"
    ),
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST  => "DELETE",
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
    CURLOPT_VERBOSE        => 1,
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0
));
$response = curl_exec($ch);

//It's possible to output the response at this place for debugging, so remove the comment if needed
/*
print $response;
print "<pre>";
print_r(json_decode($response));
print "</pre>";
*/
curl_close($ch);
