fwrite argument resource problem

[pankajit09]

Hello,

I wrote the below code :

fwrite(STDOUT, "Enter the email address: ");

and got the following error :

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\apache
2triad\php\bin\cPass.php on line 7

How to solve this problem ?

The 1st parameter of the fwrite() command ususally refers to a file system pointer resource that has been opened before with an fopen().

Is there any reason why you want this to write to STDOUT??

I want to run the php file from the command prompt.
So I want to take the input from the user.

What to do ?

Oh I see.
Are you sure that your Command Line Interface is available? Type

php -v

on the command line and it should indicate the presence in a form which looks something like

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5>php -v

Do you have the CLI?

What is a CLI ?

[ronverdonk]

CLI is the Command Line Interface. There are some differences between the CLI and the CGI (the one you have installed). Depending on the version of PHP you are running, calling the PHP via the command line is different. An example from the documentation:

Starting with PHP 5, the CLI is distributed in the main folder, named php.exe. The CGI version is distributed as php-cgi.exe. The Windows packages between PHP 4.2.0 and PHP 4.2.3 distributed the CLI as php-cli.exe, living in the same folder as the CGI php.exe. Starting with PHP 4.3.0 the Windows package distributes the CLI as php.exe in a separate folder named cli, so cli/php.exe ....

For a detailed explanation you'd better have a look at the PHP manual's chapter Using PHP from the command line whete it is all explained.

CLI works here since I can execute php scripts from command line.
