PHP Command Line Confirmation Prompt

prompt.php

$message   =  "Are you sure you want to do this [y/N]";
print $message;
flush();
ob_flush();
$confirmation  =  trim( fgets( STDIN ) );
if ( $confirmation !== 'y' ) {
   // The user did not say 'y'.
   exit (0);
}

Very nice, thank you for this helpful snippet.

here my modification

/**
 * Prompts the user for confirmation with a message.
 *
 * @param string $message The confirmation message.
 * @return bool True if user confirms (y/yes), false otherwise (n/no).
 */
function confirmAction(string $message = "Are you sure? (y/n): "): bool
{
  $validResponses = ['y', 'yes', 'n', 'no'];
  $response = '';

  while (!in_array($response, $validResponses)) {
    echo $message;
    $response = strtolower(trim(fgets(STDIN)));
  }

  return in_array($response, ['y', 'yes']);
}
