Re: Q on php://stdin

Hi all, I still have been completely unable to get this to work like it should. I have a simple script: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php $fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); while (($buf = fgets($fp, 512)) != false) {

       $input .= $buf;

} echo "$input"; ?> So if I call this echo.php, then if I try something like cat /etc/hosts | ./echo.php It prints a # (first line of /etc/hosts) followed by two blank lines. Then it quits. /etc/hosts does contain real data. This occurs with ANY file that I try to cat. If you know what the problem might be, I would LOVE to hear your suggestions. I didn't get any replies the first time I asked, so I'm hoping that someone has something to contribute. I'm using PHP 4.1.1 on Solaris 8. Thanks in advance, -bsh Billy S Halsey wrote:

Hi all, I've been trying for the last three hours to do something like this: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php

       $fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
       while (!feof($fp)) {
           $line = fgets($fp, 4096);
           print $line;
       }
       fclose($fp);

?> And then calling it with something like: cat foo.txt | ./echofile.php The problem is, it will print the first line of foo.txt, and then exit. No matter what I do, I can't get it to read the next line. I've even added a test after the print command to see if it's at EOF, and it's not. I've also changed it to do this: while (($buf = fgets($fp, 4096)) != FALSE) {

       print $buf;

} Still won't read more than one line of the file. The only thing I've been able to do that seems to work is this: $fp = fopen("/dev/fd/0", "r"); while (!feof($fp)) ...... [The code snippets I've quoted above are just rough sketches ... I really am checking the return value from fopen() to make sure I open the file, etc.] I'm using PHP 4.1.1 on Solaris 8. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what the problem is? What stupid mistake am I making? Thanks. -bsh :-)
