Runtime Configuration
The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
In order to configure expect extension, there are configuration options
in the configuration file php.ini.
For further details and definitions of the
INI_* modes, see the
Where a configuration setting may be set.
Here's a short explanation of
the configuration directives.
-
expect.timeout
int
-
The timeout period for waiting for the data, when using the
expect_expectl function.
A value of "-1" disables a timeout from occurring.
Note:
A value of "0" causes the expect_expectl
function to return immediately.
-
expect.loguser
bool
-
Whether expect should send any output from the spawned process to stdout.
Since interactive programs typically echo their input, this usually suffices
to show both sides of the conversation.
-
expect.logfile
string
-
Name of the file, where the output from the spawned process will be
written. If this file doesn't exist, it will be created.
Note:
If this configuration is not empty, the output is written regardless of
the value of expect.loguser.
-
expect.match_max
int
-
Changes default size (2000 bytes) of the buffer used to match asterisks
in patterns.
