Description:
------------
stream_set_timeout can't be used for php://stdin (PHP executed as CGI, not Apache module). 

Bug #22837 describe same problem for PHP4 and promises "better support" in PHP5, but still don't working.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$fp=fopen('php://stdin','r'); 
stream_set_timeout($fp,1) or die ('Failed'); 
echo 'Success';
?>

Expected result:
----------------
output "Success"

Actual result:
--------------
output "Failed"

Still don't working with
PHP 5.2.10-pl0-gentoo (cli)

Still does not work with PHP 5.3.0

Using the following as an alternative:

$current_choice = trim(`bash -c "read -s -t 1 -n 1 ANS; echo \\\$ANS"`);

It times out after 1 second but I would prefer less as I want a quicker refresh!

<?php
var_dump(stream_set_timeout(STDIN, 5));
[an0nym@localhost ~]$ php test.php 
bool(false)

Workaround.

[an0nym@localhost ~]$ cat input.php 
<?php
for ($i = 0;; ++$i)
{
  printf("%d\n", $i);
  sleep($i);
}
[an0nym@localhost ~]$ cat output.php 
<?php
stream_set_blocking(STDIN, 0);
$rss = array(STDIN);
$wss = $ess = null;
while (stream_select($rss, $wss, $ess, $argv[1]))
{
  printf("%f\n", microtime(true));
  echo stream_get_contents(STDIN);
}
printf("%f\n", microtime(true));
