How can I read from STDIN while stepwise execution with phpdbg

Question

Debugging a php script with phpdbg, how can I read from some data from STDIN ?

I am debugging a php script foo.php. foo.php reads from a line from STDIN when executed. I want to stepwise execute it with phpdbg.

I tried that

$ phpdbg foo.php
phpdbg> run < data.txt

but it doesn't work. data.txt contains some lines that I want to read from STDIN. Any suggestions?

phpdbg maintainer here; simple answer: no way to do this yet. … I've put this on the list of things to do soon, thanks :-) — bwoebi, Oct 01 '16 at 13:29

Thanks a lot for your question, I've just implemented that in phpdbg. It will be available with 7.0.13.

The syntax is exactly like you proposed:

r arg1 arg2 < file
