Readline only reads the window size on startup or on SIGWINCH. This means if the window is resized when not in a readline() call, the next call will have odd behavior due to confusion about the window size.
The work-around is to force Readline to re-read the window size by sending it SIGWINCH. This is accomplished using the async interface, which installs the signal handler but returns control to PHP.
The following function is a drop-in replacement for readline(), but re-reads the window size every time:
<?
function xreadline($prompt)
{
global $xreadline, $xreadline_line;
$code = '$GLOBALS["xreadline"] = false;' .
'$GLOBALS["xreadline_line"] = $line;' .
'readline_callback_handler_remove();';
$cb = create_function('$line', $code);
readline_callback_handler_install($prompt, $cb);
$signal = defined("SIGWINCH") ? SIGWINCH : 28;
posix_kill(posix_getpid(), $signal);
$xreadline = true;
while ($xreadline)
readline_callback_read_char();
return is_null($xreadline_line) ? false : $xreadline_line;
}
?>
GNU Readline
简介
The readline functions implement an interface to the GNU Readline library. These are functions that provide editable command lines. An example being the way Bash allows you to use the arrow keys to insert characters or scroll through command history. Because of the interactive nature of this library, it will be of little use for writing Web applications, but may be useful when writing scripts used from a command line.
Note: 本扩展模块在 Windows 平台下不可用。
需求
To use the readline functions, you need to install libreadline. You can find libreadline on the home page of the GNU Readline project, at » http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/rltop.html. It's maintained by Chet Ramey, who's also the author of Bash.
You can also use these functions with the libedit library, a non-GPL replacement for the readline library. The libedit library is BSD licensed and available for download from » http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/.
安装
To use these functions you must compile the CGI or CLI version of PHP with readline support. You need to configure PHP --with-readline[=DIR]. In order you want to use the libedit readline replacement, configure PHP --with-libedit[=DIR].

cool program! note when trying to exec() something:
in the while loop you need to reset exec() returns or you will get all results of all executions (on my my windows and or cygwin :-(
like:
<?php
// your class prompt()
echo "Enter something or 'exit' to quit\n";
do {
$cmdline = new prompt();
$buffer = $cmdline->get('shell command: ');
// init/ reset first!
$data = null;
$return = null;
// now start:
echo "You said: $buffer\n";
if (!empty($buffer)) {
$x = exec($buffer, $data, $return);
print_r($data);
}
} while ($buffer !== "exit");
echo "Goodbye\n";

Here's an easy way without readline() if you don't have it compiled in already:
$fp = fopen("php://stdin","r");
$line = rtrim(fgets($fp, 1024);

Even better than 'plz at dont dot spam' in only one line :) :
@c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe script.php %*

To get all arguments passed to a batch file in one variable
rather than using %1 %2 %3 etc;
:LOOP
if "%1" == "" goto DONE
set args=%args% %1
shift
goto LOOP
:DONE
@c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe script.php %args%
set args=

You can open /dev/tty on unix systems or \con in windows, with ob_implicit_flush(true) to write output unbuffered. Works like a charm :-)
-------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
@ob_end_flush();
ob_implicit_flush(true);
class prompt {
var $tty;
function prompt() {
if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == "WIN") {
$this->tty = fOpen("\con", "rb");
} else {
if (!($this->tty = fOpen("/dev/tty", "r"))) {
$this->tty = fOpen("php://stdin", "r");
}
}
}
function get($string, $length = 1024) {
echo $string;
$result = trim(fGets($this->tty, $length));
echo "\n";
return $result;
}
}
echo "Enter something or 'exit' to quit\n";
do {
$cmdline = new prompt();
$buffer = $cmdline->get("Something: ");
echo "You said: $buffer\n";
} while ($buffer !== "exit");
echo "Goodbye\n";
?>

There is a simpler way to do a multiline read than above:
function multiline() {
while(($in = readline("")) != ".")
$story .= ($PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? "\r\n".$in :
"\n".$in;
return $story;
}

Here's an example simple readline-like way to input from command line on windows - the single line is from http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/darrell20000319.php3, the multiline is something I added...
<?
function read () {
# 4092 max on win32 fopen
$fp=fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$in=fgets($fp,4094);
fclose($fp);
# strip newline
(PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? ($read = str_replace("\r\n", "", $in)) : ($read = str_replace("\n", "", $in));
return $read;
}
function multilineread () {
do {
$in = read();
# test exit
if ($in == ".") return $read;
# concat input
(PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? ($read = $read . ($read ? "\r\n" : "") . $in) : ($read = $read . "\n" . $in);
} while ($inp != ".");
return $read;
}
print("End input with . on line by itself.\n");
print("What is your first name?\n");
$first_name = multilineread();
print("What is your last name?\n");
$last_name = read();
print("\nHello, $first_name $last_name! Nice to meet you! \n");
?>
[Ed. note: you can use fopen("php://stdin", "w") to achieve the same thing, works on both Windows and Unix)]
I wanted to get console input in a PHP script running on windows, so I made a little hack, which is so simple, it is clearly public domain. What I did was write a C++ program to get a line, then output it. Then all that is needed is to exec() that program and capture the output - readline() for windows. The C++ source is as follows:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
void main()
{
string input;
cin >> input;
cout << input;
}
It works wonderfully for my purposes, since I love the PHP language and want to have console input.
