php cli

["Eric Chadbourne" <user=1528@nabble.blu.org>]

 I'm playing around on the command line with PHP.  Anybody else here do 
that?  Does it work reasonably well for simple scripts.  I'm scratching 
my head on the very first attempt!  Why doesn't this work?  - Eric C. 

#!C:\php\php.exe 
<?php 

/* why doesn't this work on winxp?  it always goes to the default case. 
*/ 

echo "\nHas Eric been drinking?\n"; 
$answer = fread(STDIN, 1024); 
switch ($answer) { 
        case "yes": 
                echo "\nOf course he's been drinking!"; 
                break; 
        case "no": 
                echo "\nYou must be drunk!"; 
                break; 
        default: 
                echo "\nYes or no please."; 
        } 
sleep(2); 

?>
