PHP has a mechanism for this already, ala > php://stderr, php://stdout, php://stdin and the streams/fopen wrappers > stuff. We should be consistent either way. What this patch does is basically this: define ('STDIN', fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); ... I thinks it's useful to have these file descriptors always present in order to make using cli as a command line pipe filter easier and more readable. An example: php -i | php -r 'while ($l=fgets(STDIN)) echo strip_tags($l);' Edin
