Bug #14537: fgetc fails to return single charachter immediatly

From: junk-php@aontic.com Operating system: Linux 2.4.7-10smp i686 PHP version: 4.1.0 PHP Bug Type: Filesystem function related Bug description: fgetc fails to return single charachter immediatly fgetc should have at least the option of returning a single charachter immediatly upon its entry, or another function should be defined (such as getchar()) that achieves similar functionality to fgetc(stdin) which return a single charachter immediatly. 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 bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14537&edit=1
