note 126860 added to ref.readline

Windows. To the current date, PHP 8.1 64bits under Windows does not support all the functions: supported: readline_add_history readline_clear_history readline_completion_function readline_info readline_list_history readline_read_history readline_write_history readline no supported: (the function is not even defined) readline_callback_handler_install readline_callback_handler_remove readline_callback_read_char readline_on_new_line readline_redisplay if you want to read a key in windows (without blocking), you can use the next code: $out=''; $ret=''; $keys='1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'."á"; $default="á"; while(true) { exec("choice /N /C $keys /D $default /T 1",$out,$ret); if($out[0]!=="á") { var_dump($out[0]); } $out=[]; } It is not elegant and it calls choice every 1 second but it does the job (at least with some keys). ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.135 (proxied: 190.46.238.9) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/ref.readline.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/126860 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126860 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/126860 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
