<?

$rtdin = fopen("php://stdin", "r");

for(;;){
        $c = fgetc($rtdin);
        fflush($rtdin);
        if ($c == 'q') break;
        else echo "you pressed:" . $c . "\n";
}

?>

=========
This script doesn't work as expected: fgetc doesn't return until "\n" is read from stdin.

How can I catch single key-presses from the keyboard?

This is a normal behavour, if you try simular code in C you will get the same results.
Consider using ncurses.
