Curses for PHP on Windows

Question

Is there a Windows equivalent of ncurses for PHP?

I've created a CLI script and want to display various statistics (currently processed record, completion percentage etc.) in a nice way, without outputting loads and heaps of text to the cmd.exe window.

The ncurses extension doesn't work on Windows.

Answer 1

ncurses only works for unix-like environments so you can use cygwin but [Link outdated] looks promising. Check it out and let me know!
