Hello php gurus,
maybe it sounds crazy, but I'd would like to use php for some system
administration, backups, etc, but sometimes user interaction is needed.
Till now i have been using windows script host, but more and more I need
communication with intranet servers, which works fine with libcurl. Now
I'm executing curl.exe for every intranet request I need, and it's too slow.
My question is, if I can read keyboard using php. I know i can execute
external program like choice.com (to ask for answer no/yes etc), but
this is the thing i'd like to avoid... I know there's ton of other
languges which could do that better, jike java or c++, but php is the
only I know a bit.
Thank you for any ideas,
Y.

If you are running a command-line interpreter, yes; you can read
keyboard input from standard input stream (STDIN):
$response = trim(fgets(STDI N));

I would appreciate opinions on the following:
Given the task to read a _complete_ text file into a string:
What is the "best" way to do it?
Handling the buffer is not the problem -- the character
input is a different matter, at least if I want to remain within
the bounds of the standard library.

The handhelds communicate to the PC via a USB connection. The USB device has

I can open an application such as Notepad and use SendKeys to send
input to the Notepad.
What I would like to do is reference an already running application and
then send keyboard input to it. Any thoughts? Can this be done with
sendkeys or is there another method.

Is there a .Net api or System api to determine when the user last used the
mouse or keyboard? I mean system wide, not just the last keyboard or mouse
interaction with my app.
I'm aware of SetWindowsHookEx but have never used it, and given my VB.Net
skills it would be a major (but interesting) undertaking to use it from
within a VB.Net application.
Thanks, Bob

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
