Q’s about PHP & CLI

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 18.2007

Ok so lately I’ve been creating PHP snippets that run under the command line (servers, clients, all sorts of such stuff). But I have a couple of questions:

1) How can I stop the user from typing things in the terminal while the script is running?

2) Is there any way to prompt for input from the user? (like echo “Please enter your name: ” and then wait for the user to type something and press enter)

EDIT: Of course, I’m doing this under Linux.

Edit again: one other question: Can I delete something I outputted? I tried b but it doesn’t seem to work.

@ZnupiauthorMay 18.2007 — I know about the GTK extension and it does sound very nice. But, I'm a xampp (or lampp) user, and tried installing the GTK extension over that, but couldn't get it to work. I even posted on their forum, but I didn't get any answer ?. Here's the thread: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=24460

Success!
