Hi all,
I still have been completely unable to get this to work like it should.
I have a simple script:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
$fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
while (($buf = fgets($fp, 512)) != false) {
$input .= $buf;
}
echo "$input";
?>
So if I call this echo.php, then if I try something like
cat /etc/hosts | ./echo.php
It prints a # (first line of /etc/hosts) followed by two blank lines.
Then it quits. /etc/hosts does contain real data. This occurs with ANY
file that I try to cat.
If you know what the problem might be, I would LOVE to hear your
suggestions. I didn't get any replies the first time I asked, so I'm
hoping that someone has something to contribute.
I'm using PHP 4.1.1 on Solaris 8.
Thanks in advance,
-bsh
