[Virtual-Support]-[/scripts] root:>#./new.php Password: [Virtual-Support]-[/scripts] root:># this is the source to it.. #!/usr/bin/php -q <? $stdout = fopen("php://stdout","r+"); $stdin = fopen("php://stdin","w+"); fputs($stdout, "Password: "); fgets($stdin, $passwd); echo "\n".$passwd."\n"; ?> i also tried the -i flag, and the -a flag, none of em worked. any ideas ? > > One thing I've been wishing is that there was some exposed versioning system in the manual > code. > It'd be really cool to be able to see what's new in recent versions in a form a > little friendlier > than diff php3_manual_file.html php4_manual_file.html.
