I am wondering if PHP4 supports STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR, and if there is a way to read command line args (ala argc, argv) when php is executed from the command line.

Uhh, argc,argv handling has been available for years. Dating all the way back to early php2 days as far as I recall. And stdout is not an issue of course. stdin/stderr can be access directly by opening /dev/stdin and /dev/stderr or on some operating systems this would be /dev/fd/0 and /dev/fd/2 Well, there is no standard way of accessing std* which is guaranteed to work on all platforms. How about adding a new handler to fopen-wrappers: std://in std://out std://err

It looks like a nice overload for the URL support, I can't see any drawbacks and it seems like a useful feature. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/ For a PGP public key, finger bourbon@netvision.net.il
