CLI-Prompt
==========
While prompting for user input using `fgets()` is quite easy, sometimes you
need to prompt for sensitive information. In these cases, the characters typed
in by the user should not be directly visible, and this is quite a pain to
do in a cross-platform way.
This tiny package fixes just that for you:
```php
<?php
echo 'Say hello: ';
$answer = Seld\CliPrompt\CliPrompt::hiddenPrompt();
echo 'You answered: '.$answer . PHP_EOL;
// Output in the CLI:
//
// Say hello:
// You answered: hello
```
Installation
------------
`composer require seld/cli-prompt`
API
---
- `Seld\CliPrompt\CliPrompt::hiddenPrompt($allowFallback = false);`
> Prompts the user for input and hides what they type. If this fails for any
> reason and `$allowFallback` is set to `true` the prompt will be done using
> the usual `fgets()` and characters will be visible.
- `Seld\CliPrompt\CliPrompt::prompt();`
> Regular user prompt for input with characters being shown on screen.
In both cases, the trailing newline the user enters when submitting the answer
is trimmed.
Requirements
------------
PHP 5.3 and above
