I have quite old server (mandriva "perfect setup", ispconfig 2.0, php version 5.2.5) and I have problem with php (reading from stdin). If I put simple script Code: <?php echo "Are you sure you want to do this? Type 'yes' to continue: "; $handle = fopen ("php://stdin","r"); $line = fgets($handle); if(trim($line) != 'yes'){ echo "ABORTING!\n"; exit; } echo "\n"; echo "Thank you, continuing...\n"; ?> and execute it through console, I get error: PHP Warning: fopen(php://stdin): failed to open stream: No such file or directory I have same php.ini on "similar" server where this works without problem. Thanks for any idea/hint. Matej
