This usually depends on how you configured your tty. I think by default it
is buffered by the OS until a newline so it's probably not PHP which needs
changing but your settings.

I've really run into a wall trying to get single charachters from stdin.
Something similar to the getchar macro or a real fgetc would be nice.
The current behavior is that more than a signle charachter can be typed and
fgetc only returns when it sees a "\n".
I'd like it to return immediatly aft
