Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php As of PHP 7.1.0 you need to set the internal_encoding properly for this to work. For details see <http://php.net/manual/en/migration71.windows-support.php#migration71.windows-support.long-and-utf8-path>.

All characters with a bigger code will be read as 0. In other words, no special character can be inputed on the command line, except the basic ASCII ones. If a special character (accented, umlauts, etc) is typed, it will be NULL. The problem is not present if older versions of PHP are used, like PHP 7.0.32 Win32 VC14 x64 or PHP 5.x Test script: --------------- <?PHP // Read string contains end line chars $s = fgets(STDIN); echo bin2hex($s); // Read string doesn't contain end line chars $s = stream_get_line(STDIN, 999999, PHP_EOL); echo bin2hex($s); ?> Expected result: ---------------- If, for example, the user inputs the "ò" and "à" characters, the CLI output should be (assume cp850 as charset): ò 950d0a à 85 Actual result: -------------- If, for example, the user inputs the "ò" and "à" characters, the CLI output is: ò 000d0a à 00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76897&edit=1
