Clear screen

[Georg Weiler]

Hi,

I'm using PHP on my Linux box on the command line.

It need to clear the screen, as I would do with the 'clear' command on
the bash. Is there something equivalent in PHP available?

regards,
georg

ereg(":li#([0-9]+):", $TERMCAP, $regs);
$lines = $regs[1];
echo str_repeat("\n", $lines);

Or, for PHP3:

while ($lines--) echo "\n";
