Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 07:11:40] andrey@php.net sorry STDIN instead of $STDIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-05 07:08:31] andrey@php.net Hi, few minutes ago I was asked by a friend : "How can I read the user input in CLI?" He proposed this : <?php print "enter:\n"; $r = fread(STDIN, 100); print $r; ?> but....the user has to enter EOF (Ctrl-Z on Windows, Ctrl-D on *nix). This is not intuitive. So after some thinking I created this : <?php print "enter:\n"; fscanf($STDIN, "%d\n",$r); //reading a number print $r; ?> I haven't found an example about that issue on the CLI SAPI page. Thanks, Andrey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21428&edit=1
