your code should assume that the input is coming via standard input

Here's a function I use on my shell scripts, if that helps.

function ask($string, $default = false) {
                       if(is_string($string)) {
                               fwrite(STDOUT, "$string ");
                               $input = fread(STDIN, 255);
                             
                               if($input == "\n") {
                                       return $default;
                               }
                               else {
                                       $input = trim($input);
                                       return $input;
                               }
                       }
               }
