If you're running PHP as a server-side web scripting language, you can
forget it.  What you have to do is write an HTML form and process the
returned data.  If you need more interaction than that, look at JavaScript
or Flash/ActionScript.

If you want the input from the keyboard on the web-server machine (not the
client) you can use:

$file = fopen('php://input', 'r');
$char = fread($file, 1);

If you want keyboard input from a web browser client, you'll have to either:

Use JavaScript to capture the input, and then open up another HTTP
connection to a totally different PHP script to do something with it, or

Create a Java applet and Java servelet to have a keep-alive connection that
captures the browsers keystrokes and sends them back (via the Java servlet)
to PHP.

The first option will be dog-slow and completely un-usable for all but a
very limited class of solutions...

Keep in mind that PHP runs on the *SERVER*, and, in fact, your PHP script is
completely finished, dead, and gone by the time the user types a key.

If these options are unhelpful, tell us what you are actually trying to do
at a higher level.

Oh yeah:  For purely server-side shell-scripting keyboard cool-ness, I would
imagine that the new GTK-PHP combination would have some nifty stuff in
it...  Haven't even looked at it myself, and I don't even know GTK, so it
will be awhile before I can say anything more intelligent about it...  Not
that that always stops me :-)
