php user input

[The Little Guy]

When running PHP as a binary, is there a way to ask for user input?

Here's the very basic form:

 

<?
while (!feof(STDIN)) {
  $buf = fgets(STDIN);
  print $buf;
}
?>

 

Don't ask me about character at a time input.. I'm sure it's possible, but I don't know how to enable it

Here we go:

<?php
$name = fwrite(STDOUT, "Enter your name: ");
$name = trim(fgets(STDIN));

// write input back
fwrite(STDOUT, "Hello, $name!");
?>
