The following script allows the user to type more than a single charachter and only returns when the user hits enter. fgetc should simply block until a single charachter is entered and then return. This is missing functionality that can not be worked around easily as far as I can tell. Script: $fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); $char = fgetc($fp); echo $char; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14537&edit=1
