Perfect!  Thank you!

Anyway, for anyone else who's interested in the answer and doesn't want to
dig through the user contributed notes for fopen....

function read($length='255'){
        if (!isset($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'])){
                $GLOBALS['StdinPointer']=fopen("php://stdin","r");
        }
        $line=fgets($GLOBALS['StdinPointer'],$length);
        return trim($line);
}
