Nope, it returns 1 character from the input buffer after the user presses enter
sadly, i did try that already! =P ------------------------- "Adam Voigt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit dans le message de news: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $f = fopen("php://stdin","r"); $command = fread($f,1); fclose($f); Would that not read a single character?

THE PROBLEM is i can't just read one character it always waits for the user to press enter which is not what i intended to do. When i write "Please press a key to continue" if the user presses anything else than enter it appears on the screen. and the input ends only when he presses enter. If you are a C/C++ programmer you can compare that to the cin >>> command. I need something to read only one char at a time if needed! thank you Mathieu Dumoulin Programmer analyste for web solutions- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub -- Adam Voigt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Cryptocomm Group My GPG Key: http://64.238.252.49:8080/adam_at_cryptocomm.asc -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
