Console Output In Php How to specify postiion.

[jonypawks 0]

I've been doing a lot of scripting in php recently and I've really come to like it. But the one thing I can't seem to find anywhere is how to output text to a specific place on a console. What my script does is basically repeats a cumbersome process over and over for approximately 1800 files, and I'd like for the script to show the percentage complete but not print out 1800 lines. I'm not sure if this is even possible but it seems like a feature that would be commonly requested, even though php isn't geared towards console scripts. Thanks ahead of time.

If this is solely console, then look into using ncurses with PHP. I haven't used ncurses with PHP though, but I've used it for C++ console programs, the functions you might want to look at are move() and mvprintw().Cheers,MC

ncruses is the only way.you could just do a clearscreen between every output, that's the easy way.

Thank you guys, I looked up the ncurses info on php.net and it worked like a charm.
