Re: Writing to process STDIN and reading its STDOUT from PHP4?

Hi Usin this For some reason this script didn't work. #!/usr/local/bin/php <? //open STDIN $fp=fopen("php://stdin","r"); while(!feof($fp)){ $data=fgets($fp,1024); } fclose($fp); //Write STDIN to the File $fw=fopen("data.txt","a+"); fwrite($fw,$data); fclose($fw); ?> Any idea ? Permissions are right, because the file is beeing created, I run the script in three ways,. ./std.php blah blah CTLR-D Or cat file|./std.php or ./std.php <blah.txt None of the above workd, the data.txt file remains EMPTY... any idea ?
