Hi,

I wonder if PHP supports PTY? I see old codes (from 2004 to 2010) using
proc_open with $descriptors = [[0 => 'pty']] for example. When I try, I
have an error because PTY seems to not be supported. ./configure does
not
propose me to --enable-pty as I have seen in some related posts.

Hi,

Hi,

based on http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/ext/standard/proc_open.

c#653 http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/ext/standard/proc_open.c#653and
http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_**TRUNK/ext/standard/proc_open.**c#64http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/ext/standard/proc_open.c#64 (notice the
0 &&) I would say it isn't supported anymore.

Yup, I have seen this condition after sending the email.

wez turned that off 9 years ago:

**4727440df4https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/bd818c0118ba406d82f901d4f97a134727440df4

But why? Are arguments always valid today?

Thanks.

from the previous commits it seems that we had some kind of proc_open
build issue and didn't managed to solve it without removing that:

and for the record, it seems that the whole feature lived less than a month
and a half, so it isn't something that we properly tested or announced.

But is it possible to have PTY support today in PHP? These commits are
from 2004, we are in 2013 now. Maybe new solutions are conceivable.

Best regards.
