hello,
I read that in the cli version of php, the 3 files, sterror, stdout and
stdin are already open thus saving having to open them and close them each
time. Well, I decided to test that idea and it appears that stdin infact
is not pre-opened, but my code may be wrong too, who knows.
I made a little test script (see below), but either it ends up outputting
nothing, or i get the "... assumed 'STDIN'" and "supplied argument is not
a valid resource...." but on the same line.
anyway, code is below

<?php
while(STDIN != '\n');
{
$line = fgets(STDIN);
echo $line;
}
?>

simple script, but it appears not to work. is it my code, or is STDIN not
opened by default in php4.4
this is on slackware linux version 10.2 running php -v 4.4
