Req #72768 [Asn]: Add ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag for php.exe

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72768&edit=1 ID: 72768 User updated by: mlocati at gmail dot com Reported by: mlocati at gmail dot com Summary: Add ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag for php.exe Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Output Control Operating System: Windows 10 PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: ab Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Please note that the ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag does not affect the output of php.exe, but just the way the console interprets it. For instance, if we assume that the sample c program mentioned in this #72768 is compiled as "test.exe", the contents of the file "test.txt" created with "test.exe >test.txt 2>&1" is <ESC>[101;93m Yellow text on red background <ESC>[0m <ESC>[101;93m Yellow text on red background <ESC>[0m (where <ESC> is the character with ascii code \033 (octal)) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-08-05 22:19:59] kalle@php.net It makes sense for me to add this flag to CLI, what do you think Anatol? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-08-05 16:38:07] mlocati at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The standard console of newer versions of Windows 10 add support to ANSI control codes. BTW, every console executable should explicitly tell to use that new feature with the flag ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING. For instance, at http://imgur.com/a/heYHm you see the the output of the application compiled from the code at the bottom. What about adding this flag to php.exe? #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #ifndef ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING #define ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING 0x0004 #endif int main(void) { const char* sampleText = "\033[101;93m Yellow text on red background \033[0m\n"; HANDLE hStdout; DWORD handleMode; printf(sampleText); hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); GetConsoleMode(hStdout, &handleMode); handleMode |= ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING; SetConsoleMode(hStdout, handleMode); printf(sampleText); return 0; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72768&edit=1
