for a SHELL SCRIPT using php binary: in bash I would do this: #!/bin/bash echo -n "username: " read username echo -n "password: " read password echo $username echo $password Run on the command-line, it would stop and ask me for the username and password, then continue the bash shell script. But in PHP, how would I prompt someone at the command-line for input? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
