Thank you for your reply Stuart, I will look at ncurses extensions.

I am trying to code a CLI PHP script that will give me the keycodes for these

single key, then I want to process that event without the user having to press
the Enter key after pressing a single key.
I have tried several approaches but with no success. Using fopen() to open stdin, and
fgetc() will give me the regular keys but requires the user to press the Enter key after
the initial key is pressed. When I press the the PgDw key for example, those routines
return a single character string even though the stty echos a 5 character string (using
PgDw echos "^[[6~")
I have tried other approaches using bash read commands to get a single
character but will little success also.
Anybody here know how to do this?
As far as I know you can't do this through any of the built-in functions.
However, the ncurses extension may give you what you need:
