Description:
------------
On Linux, fgets(STDIN) asks the user for input and returns the results, but this fails on Windows - it immediately returns false. On PHP 7.3 it works on Linux and Windows fine. 

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(fgets(STDIN)); // Try on Windows and Linux, PHP 7.4.0

Hi,

This happens since 7.4 RC5, working well on RC4 !

For me, it fails with RC4 as well.  Apparently, the issue has been
caused by commit 9ec61e4[1], which is shipped as of 7.4.0RC2.

Ok, In fact, I have tested under higer level code, so probably you are right. ( https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/34702 . This one, I'm sur 100% it's RC5 on two differents Windows 10 up to date installation.

I will try to switch on RC4 and tell you if it's working. If I not answer, consider that you are right.

The behavioral change has been introduced with commit d05deaa[1],
which has been squashed in to the commit mentioned above.  That
change is necessary to avoid that ftell() gets called on character
files, which would render the return value to be undefined[2].
What has been missed in this commit, is to properly adjust
self->is_pipe_blocking (which is a Windows only flag), to avoid
calling PeekNamedPipe() on characters files, which is not
supported[3].
