Python supports a fxn for the password input use-case:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/getpass.html?highlight=password
Equivalent of that would satisfy me.
You can do the equivalent on unixy systems this way, but, alas, doesn't
work
on Windows, which many of our CLI script users have:
$stty = `stty -g`;
system("stty -echo");
$input = trim(fgets(STDIN));
system("stty $stty");

Description:
------------
Short of using an experimental extension that's not likely to be
available on a default install, there appears to be no way to
disable/enable echoing of stdin content when reading it.
A use case would be something like:
<?php
ob_implicit_flush(true);
echo "Please enter your password: ";
// code to disable echo here
$password = fgets(STDIN);
// code to re-enable echo here.
