maybe this is not a bug, maybe if it is it's not related to php but to ncurses 5.3 which I use, in this case anyone know a workaround (not to rewrite a php getch which can handle different key sequences).
Now the result is correct if I don't use window ($ch=265), wgetch return the sequence $ch=(27, 91, 91, 65)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Note that not all function keys are supported on any particular terminal. If you need F-Keys remove your putenv(...)

Forgot to say that you have to enable keypad for wgetch via ncurses_keypad($win, TRUE);
