Hi all,
Please take a look at following very simple script;
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?
echo "Hello, world!\n";
if (!$tty) {
$tty = fopen('php://stdin', 'r');
}
print "Hello: ";
$ch = fgets($tty, 1024);
print "$ch\n";
?>
I tested it on many servers. Here is how it running (you can
figure out yourself): Firstly it displays "Hello, world!", then
displays "Hello: " at second line and waits for user input;
You input a "yes" and it displays the "yes"; then end. So, on
the screen you will see:
Hello, world!
Hello: yes
yes
However, on one of the servers, it doesn't run like above,
but in a reversed way: Firstly, it displays nothing but waits
for your input; you input a "yes", then it displays the "yes",
then "Hello, world!", then "Hello: yes". So, on the screen it
looks like this:
yes
Hello, world!
Hello: yes
Weird? To me IT IS! I really don't understand why all the
echos/prints did not function until the script got data from
tty, even they are before fgets..
I found this issue during an unsuccessfull pear installation.
The pear installer stopped and waited for my input without
any prompt - there is prompt message but not displayed!
Can anyone let me know how this can happen? Thanks
in advance!

This would make sense if there is buffering enabled in php.ini. Compare
buffering settings between the servers that work as you expect and the
server that doesn't. Then try turning off buffering and try again.

Hmmm, stdout and stdin are supposed to be linked, so that stdout is
automatically flushed when stdin is read from. Obviously it isn't working on
this particular server, or it's a bug in PHP. Try flushing the output buffer
manually with flush() before calling fgets().

Your are right! I disabled output_bufferin g then it works the
correct way :)

Here's the example:
You have a world writable file called lastquote.cfg on your server with a
one or two digit number in it. When you run the script below, it reads the
value, increments the value by one and then rewrites it into the file.
<?php
$fp = fopen("lastquote.cfg", "r");
$data = fread($fp, 10);
fclose($fp);

I'm just wondering why it seems most people use "echo" instead of "print". I
tend to use "print", probably because I started programming in BASIC back in
78, so it's just familiar.
Echo can take multiple expressions (as in "echo
$string1,$string2,$string3"), which apparently is a bit faster than multiple
concatenations. But for basic output, there doesn't seem to be a noticeable
difference. The speed test at...

Hi,
I am working on a project for school and I am trying to get my head
around something weird. I have a function setup which is used to get
an input from stdin and a piece of memory is created on the heap using
malloc. This input is then run through a regex and another test. The
result is passed back as a char pointer to the program for further
processing
The first time I call this function, it performs normally. However,
