How to do Press Any Key To Continue with php.exe

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am wondering if there is a better way to do this than what I have come up with. The first example waits for the ENTER key to be pressed, but any other characters you press show up on the screen

The second method works with any key being pressed, but uses exec().

Any other suggestions? Basically I am wanting the console window to stay open at the end of the script so the user can read what was displayed in the window before the console window closes down.

Thanks

> php test.php

<?php
//test. php

//Not the most elegant, but it works!
echo "\n\n";
echo "Press ENTER to continue... ";
$handle = fopen("php://stdin","r");
$getLine = "";
while ($getLine == ""):
    $getLine = fgets($handle);
endwhile;

//A little better but uses exec()
echo "\n\n";
echo "Press ANY KEY to continue... ";
exec("pause");

?>
