With your CGI version of PHP compiled with ncurses support, console apps are amazingly easy! For example: whack the following into a file, chmod +x it, and run it. #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php ncurses_init(); ncurses_border(25,25,18,18,24,24,23,23); // Do a lovely border ncurses_move(1,1); // Start top left(inside border) ncurses_addstr("Welcome to NCurses"); ncurses_addstr(" with PHP!"); ncurses_refresh(); // Send buffer to screen ncurses_end(); // Clean up, and quit ?&gt; You'll notice the second addstr simply tacks onto the first. --was-- With your CGI version of PHP compiled with ncurses support, console apps are amazingly easy!
