CLI: input password without showing it

Hash: SHA1

hi

is there any way to request a password from a user without showing
the input in the terminal?

$input_pwd = trim(fgets(STDIN));

works nice as long no foreigner is in the room :-(

Really not an internals question. This is more a StackOverflow type of
question, where in fact this has been asked and answered a couple of times:

Check the password method here:

It should do what you want on windows+linux..
