Hi, on http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php is writen: STDERR - An already opened stream to stderr. This saves opening it with: <?php $stderr = fopen('php://stderr', 'w'); ?> But this does not work: #! /usr/local/bin/php505 -q <?php fwrite(STDERR, "error!\n"); ?> This does work: #! /usr/local/bin/php505 -q <?php define('STDERR', fopen('php://stderr', 'w')); fwrite(STDERR, "error!\n"); ?> Is the manual wrong or does php 5.0.5 have change this property ?
