hello,
I read that in the cli version of php, the 3 files, sterror, stdout and
stdin are already open thus saving having to open them and close them
each time. Well, I decided to test that idea and it appears that stdin
infact is not pre-opened, but my code may be wrong too, who knows.
I made a little test script (see below), but either it ends up
outputting nothing, or i get the "... assumed 'STDIN'" and "supplied
argument is not a valid resource...." but on the same line.
anyway, code is below
<?php
while(STDIN != '\n');
{
$line = fgets(STDIN);
echo $line;
}
?>
you DO understand that STDIN is a resource and (unlike Perl,) PHP can't
compare a string to a resource! Next, you're comparing to '\n', note the
single quotes; you're not comparing to the newline char, you're
comparing to a \ followed by an n literally.
So..., your code will spit out errors for sure.
while(($line = fgets(STDIN)) != "\n");
{
echo $line;
}
would work though, and have the same functionality you tried to achieve
in your above code.
simple script, but it appears not to work. is it my code, or is STDIN
not opened by default in php4.4
this is on slackware linux version 10.2 running php -v 4.4
matt
it is opened, but you need to use it correctly to get there ;)
