php expect?
Hi peeps, So i need to run a shell command from php but it will ask a question like "whats your code?" and I need to respond to it,
how can i achieve this with php?
In python this is really easy with expect.

If you are using Laravel, then a custom Artisan command might be useful https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/artisan#writing-commands. You can ask the user for input using the ask($question) method which takes a string as its argument.
