Getting size of parent window in bash/cmd

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I have a command-line PHP program that needs at least the width of the window that it is running in for display purposes.  The only way that I have done this successfully is by using ncurses functions.  I know that there is an environment variable called $COLUMNS that has this value in it, however it is not available via $_ENV not $_SERVER and would not be available through exec() et al because those create subshells in which they run the commands AFAIK.  Is there a way (besides exporting) to get this variable in the scope of my PHP program?  Thanks!
