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.
Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog |
---|---|---|---|
expect.timeout | “10” | PHP_INI_ALL | |
expect.loguser | “1” | PHP_INI_ALL | |
expect.logfile | “” | PHP_INI_ALL | |
expect.match_max | “” | PHP_INI_ALL |
For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* modes, see the
Where a
configuration setting may be set.
Here’s a short explanation of the configuration
directives.
-
expect.timeout
integer -
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
boolean -
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
integer -
Changes default size (2000 bytes) of the buffer
used to match asterisks in patterns.
