Reading line by line from STDIN

Question

I want to do something like this:

$ [mysql query that produces many lines] | php parse_STDIN.php 

In parse_STDIN.php file I want to be able to parse my data line by line from stdin.

Answer 1

use STDIN constant as file handler.

while($f = fgets(STDIN)){     echo "line: $f"; } 

Note: fgets on STDIN reads the \n character.
