It seems this function is not blocking anymore:
<?php
do {
readline_callback_read_char();
$str = readline_info('line_buffer');
echo '.';
} while (strlen($str) < 10);
echo PHP_EOL . $str . PHP_EOL;
?>
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
readline_callback_read_char — 当一个行被接收时读取一个字符并且通知 readline 回调接口
读取用户输入中的一个字符。当一行被接收时,这个函数将通知使用 readline_callback_handler_install() 安装的 readline 回调接口,并且 这一个行已经准备输入。
此函数没有参数。
没有返回值。
有关如何使用 readline 回调接口的示例,参见 readline_callback_handler_install()。

Note that this function is blocking if there is no character to read
If you don`t want to get blocked, you should use the trick with stream_select()
It also only reads one char per call,
So if something else in your script is blocking,
you`ve got a problem
