RE: [PHP] PHP-CLI issue
Rob,
Thanks for the quick reply. I did try that before, but now my issue is
that the if-else section does not recognize the data as being valid. So,
I changed it to fgets(), and reran, this time using valid data. The
initial problem is corrected (it only gives the error once), but now it
does not recognize my data, and I get the error once no matter what I
input. Is there anything in particular I would need to do to the
variable, after the STDIN, to prepare it for the validation?
Thanks,
Jesse Hazen

Use fgets() instead of fgetc(). You're retrieving one character at a
time. When someone hits enter... 1 (or in winblows 2) extra characters
are usually put on the input stack that represent the enter key itself.
Cheers,
Rob.

Use trim() to trim the retrieved input since it will have the newline appended to it. Then you can do your comparison.
