Thanks Chris but Im creating a Command Line PHP script and NOT web based. Im getting user input from stdin. here's what Im using right now.... function read_input() { $fp=fopen("/dev/stdin", "r"); $input=fgets($fp, 255); fclose($fp); return str_replace("\n", "", $input); } now, my problem is fgets() outputs whatever you typed. What Im looking for is a way to suppress that output.

Hi All, Does anybody know how to do this? Im trying to make a simple command line login using PHP. Something like this.... login: username password: mypassword ---> My problem is that I cant suppress "mypassword" from being outputted on the screen. Is there a way to output *********, instead of "mypassword"? Or even a blank, or anything except the real password? Please help me, Im already losing all my nails with this... : ( Thanks, Richard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
