I'm writing a command line tool to help my web app. It needs a password to connect to the service. I'd like the script to show a password prompt so I don't have to pass it as a command line argument.
That's easy enough, but I'd like it to not echo the password to the screen as it's typed. How can I do this with PHP?
Bonus points for doing it in pure PHP (no system('stty')) and replacing the characters with *.
EDIT:
The script will run on a unix like system (linux or mac). The script is written in PHP, and will most likely stay like that.
Also, for the record, the stty way of doing it is:
echo "Password: ";system('stty -echo');$password = trim(fgets(STDIN));system('stty echo');// add a new line since the users CR didn't echoecho "\n";I'd prefer to not have the system() calls in there.
