Hello,
I am working on a command line client (written in php, run by
php-cli) and I'd like to use a password entry as in mysql client - with
no echoing etc. I've found the function which I need:
#include <unistd.h>
char *getpass( const char * prompt );
But in man getpass it is marked as "This function is obsolete. Do not
use it.". More from the manpage: "Present in SUSv2, but marked LEGACY.
Removed in POSIX.1-2001."
Can this function be somehow included in next release of PHP, at
least in coditional way so I can check its availability with
function_exists? (a). Or I should patch my instance of PHP (b) or stick
forever to a small binary written in C which then I call with backtick
operator (c).
What you recommend, developers of PHP ?
regards,
Daniel Rozsnyo
