If you just want to enter password on a Unix-like system you could use 
the following:

<?php

function get_password($prompt)
{
   $ostty = `stty -g`;
   system(
           "stty -echo -icanon min 1 time 0 2>/dev/null || " .
           "stty -echo cbreak"
           );

   echo "$prompt: ";

   // Get rid of newline when reading stdin
   $r = substr(fgets(STDIN), 0, -1);

   echo "\n";
   system ("stty $ostty");

   return $r;
}

$p = get_password("Password");
echo "Pasword entered: $p\n";

?>
