Starting the CLI adventures.

If you have ever started out writing PHP CLI, you may notice it's kinda hard to find information about how to get input to and back from the user.

Here is a simple function which will allow you to ask the user for input and then return the input.

<?
function getInput($msg){
	print "$msg \n";
	$handle = fopen ("php://stdin","r");
	$line = fgets($handle);
	return trim($line);
}

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
