Readline only reads the window size on startup or on SIGWINCH. This means if the window is resized when not in a readline() call, the next call will have odd behavior due to confusion about the window size.
The work-around is to force Readline to re-read the window size by sending it SIGWINCH. This is accomplished using the async interface, which installs the signal handler but returns control to PHP.
The following function is a drop-in replacement for readline(), but re-reads the window size every time:
<?
function xreadline($prompt)
{
global $xreadline, $xreadline_line;
$code = '$GLOBALS["xreadline"] = false;' .
'$GLOBALS["xreadline_line"] = $line;' .
'readline_callback_handler_remove();';
$cb = create_function('$line', $code);
readline_callback_handler_install($prompt, $cb);
$signal = defined("SIGWINCH") ? SIGWINCH : 28;
posix_kill(posix_getpid(), $signal);
$xreadline = true;
while ($xreadline)
readline_callback_read_char();
return is_null($xreadline_line) ? false : $xreadline_line;
}
?>

Introduction
Les fonctions readline implémentent une interface avec la bibliothèque GNU Readline. Ces fonctions fournissent une ligne de commande éditable, un peu comme lorsque Bash vous permet d'utiliser les flèches de déplacement pour insérer un caractère ou passer en revue l'historique. À cause de l'interactivité de ces commande, elles ne seront que rarement utiles pour les applications Web, mais peuvent se révéler utiles lorsqu'un script est exécuté depuis une ligne de commande.
Note : Cette extension n'est pas disponible sur les plates-formes Windows.
Pré-requis
Pour utiliser les fonctions readline, vous devez installer la bibliothèque libreadline. Vous pouvez la trouver sur la page du projet GNU, à http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/rltop.html. Elle est maintenue par Chet Ramey, qui est l'auteur de Bash.
Vous pouvez aussi utiliser ces fonctions avec la bibliothèque libedit, un remplacement de la bibliothèque readline, qui n'est pas GPL. La bibliothèque libedit est sous licence BSD, et elle est disponible depuis http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/.
Installation
Pour utiliser ces fonctions, vous devez compiler PHP, en version CGI ou CLI. Vous devez aussi utiliser l'option de compilation --with-readline[=DIR]. Si vous souhaitez utiliser la bibliothèque libedit readline, en remplacement, compilez PHP avec l'option --with-libedit[=DIR].

cool program! note when trying to exec() something:
in the while loop you need to reset exec() returns or you will get all results of all executions (on my my windows and or cygwin :-(
like:
<?php
// your class prompt()
echo "Enter something or 'exit' to quit\n";
do {
$cmdline = new prompt();
$buffer = $cmdline->get('shell command: ');
// init/ reset first!
$data = null;
$return = null;
// now start:
echo "You said: $buffer\n";
if (!empty($buffer)) {
$x = exec($buffer, $data, $return);
print_r($data);
}
} while ($buffer !== "exit");
echo "Goodbye\n";
Here's an easy way without readline() if you don't have it compiled in already:
$fp = fopen("php://stdin","r");
$line = rtrim(fgets($fp, 1024);
Even better than 'plz at dont dot spam' in only one line :) :
@c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe script.php %*
Cheers,

To get all arguments passed to a batch file in one variable
rather than using %1 %2 %3 etc;
:LOOP
if "%1" == "" goto DONE
set args=%args% %1
shift
goto LOOP
:DONE
@c:\\php\\cli\\php.exe script.php %args%
set args=
You can open /dev/tty on unix systems or \con in windows, with ob_implicit_flush(true) to write output unbuffered. Works like a charm :-)
-------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
@ob_end_flush();
ob_implicit_flush(true);
class prompt {
var $tty;
function prompt() {
if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == "WIN") {
$this->tty = fOpen("\con", "rb");
} else {
if (!($this->tty = fOpen("/dev/tty", "r"))) {
$this->tty = fOpen("php://stdin", "r");
}
}
}
function get($string, $length = 1024) {
echo $string;
$result = trim(fGets($this->tty, $length));
echo "\n";
return $result;
}
}
echo "Enter something or 'exit' to quit\n";
do {
$cmdline = new prompt();
$buffer = $cmdline->get("Something: ");
echo "You said: $buffer\n";
} while ($buffer !== "exit");
echo "Goodbye\n";
?>
There is a simpler way to do a multiline read than above:
function multiline() {
while(($in = readline("")) != ".")
$story .= ($PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? "\r\n".$in :
"\n".$in;
return $story;
}
Here's an example simple readline-like way to input from command line on windows - the single line is from http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/darrell20000319.php3, the multiline is something I added...
<?
function read () {
# 4092 max on win32 fopen
$fp=fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$in=fgets($fp,4094);
fclose($fp);
# strip newline
(PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? ($read = str_replace("\r\n", "", $in)) : ($read = str_replace("\n", "", $in));
return $read;
}
function multilineread () {
do {
$in = read();
# test exit
if ($in == ".") return $read;
# concat input
(PHP_OS == "WINNT") ? ($read = $read . ($read ? "\r\n" : "") . $in) : ($read = $read . "\n" . $in);
} while ($inp != ".");
return $read;
}
print("End input with . on line by itself.\n");
print("What is your first name?\n");
$first_name = multilineread();
print("What is your last name?\n");
$last_name = read();
print("\nHello, $first_name $last_name! Nice to meet you! \n");
?>
[Ed. note: you can use fopen("php://stdin", "w") to achieve the same thing, works on both Windows and Unix)]
I wanted to get console input in a PHP script running on windows, so I made a little hack, which is so simple, it is clearly public domain. What I did was write a C++ program to get a line, then output it. Then all that is needed is to exec() that program and capture the output - readline() for windows. The C++ source is as follows:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
void main()
{
string input;
cin >> input;
cout << input;
}
It works wonderfully for my purposes, since I love the PHP language and want to have console input.
