From: louis at mulliemedia dot com Operating system: Fedora PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Unbuffered fgets or fgetc function.
Description: ------------ Hello, First of all I'd like to thank all of you PHP community for your commitment to PHP. This is what makes PHP the best web scripting language on earth. If I could code this function in C, I would, however at this moment I am only a begginner in C/C++ thats why I am posting here :) Some applications (in my case, a socket server) wich have to be run from the command line and will run forever, need to have some administration functions from the CLI so that you can create basic functions (like shutdown, etc.) I think that an unbuffered fgetc or fegts function would be very nice so that we can read from php://stdin only if there is something to read, and so that it doesnt hang there waiting for input. I'd like to give a few urls of other people in need of this, as I might not have explained properly : http://lists.nyphp.org/pipermail/talk/2003-September/005595.html http://www.phpbuilder.com/lists/php-developer-list/2001121/1771.php Thanks, Louis Reproduce code: --------------- function getStdI() { static $pStdn; if(!$pStdn) { $pStdn = fopen("php://stdin", "r"); } return trim(fgets($pStdn, 1024)); } while(1) { getStdI(); // will hang there until enter is pressed // socket server code } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29990&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=29990&r=float
