lanstein Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi,I'm having a tough time with my chat socket program, which works perfectly except for hanging on fgets(stdin). Is there anyone who can fix the following example (which attempts to bypass fgets())? I've had no luck with (!feof(stdin)) or even ftell-if($tell<ftell(stdin)) { echo "you entered input"; $tell=ftell(stdin); }It seems like there's nothing in stdin until fgets() (when it hangs waiting for user input). php 4.3.11 under slack 10.0. Thanks!#!/usr/bin/php <?php $stdin=fopen('php://stdin', 'r'); $counter=0; while (true) { echo $counter."\n"; sleep (2); if (fgets($stdin)) { echo "received input"; } $counter++; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17070-tough-stdin-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanstein Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi,Sorry I didn't hear anything, a little disappointed, but I've found the answer, there is a stream_select function, so the solution is something like $is_there_input=stream_select($read=array(STDIN), $write=NULL,$except=NULL, 0);if ($is_there_input>0) { $msg=fgets(STDIN); echo $msg; }hope this helps someone!David Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17070-tough-stdin-question/#findComment-72826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
