#48125 [Bgs]: php-cli makes "less" command behave differently

ID: 48125 User updated by: scot at wilcoxon dot org Reported By: scot at wilcoxon dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Linux Ubuntu 9.04 PHP Version: 5.2.9 New Comment: Documentation is needed of the option which makes php be compatible with pipes. I suspect Readline is performing initialization of the terminal despite no input being performed. The --interactive option probably forces such behavior, but the man page did not indicate the opposite of --interactive (--nointeractive did not change the problem).

It happens both locally and through SSH. Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: features.commandline --- php -r 'print_r(get_defined_constants());' | less Expected result: ---------------- Output from command with ":" at bottom. Pressing "n" should start a new page. Actual result: -------------- Output from command with ":" at bottom. Pressing "n" does nothing until ENTER is pressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48125&edit=1
