Problem with STDIN.

dthai · 09-15-2006, 01:54 AM

I try to install Paypal SDK (PHP version), when I run the install.php file, an error was thrown:

Code:

Use of undefined constant STDIN - assumed 'STDIN' in /root/php-sdk/install.php on line 44
PHP Warning:  fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /root/php-sdk/install.php on line 44

The 44th line content is:

Code:

$confirm = strtolower(substr(trim(fgets(STDIN)), 0, 1));

So I think my problem is the STDIN constant of my linux system is missing. How can I install it to my system ? Please help me, thanks very much.

p/s: I use PHP 4.3.10. My system is Fedora Core 2.

this should actually work on php 4.3+
you could try adding this though at the beginning of the script:

PHP Code:



define('STDIN',fopen("php://stdin","r"));
define('STDOUT',fopen("php://stout","w"));
define('STDERR',fopen("php://sterr","w"));
