Hi,

I have a command line PHP script that logs into a network service with
a user name specified on the command line. The script then prompts for
a password.

Currently the password is echoed on the screen/terminal as it is
typed.

Is it possible to stop the password being echoed on the command line
while it is typed? Or perhaps just print asterix's instead of the
literal characters?

A few details: platform is Linux, PHP version is 4.3.9.

Cheers!
