====== Cursor controll in PHP cli scripts ======
Controll cursor in CLI scripts by echoing ANSI characters
<code php>echo "\033[100D";</code>

Many computer terminals and terminal emulators support colour and cursor control through a system of escape sequences. One such standard is commonly referred to as ANSI Colour. Several terminal specifications are based on the ANSI colour standard, including VT100.

The following is a partial listing of the VT100 control set.

<ESC> represents the ASCII "escape" character, 0x1B. Bracketed tags represent modifiable decimal parameters; eg. {ROW} would be replaced by a row number.

===== Device Status =====
The following codes are used for reporting terminal/display settings, and vary depending on the implementation:

  * Query Device Code	<ESC>[c
      * Requests a Report Device Code response from the device.
  * Report Device Code	<ESC>[{code}0c
      * Generated by the device in response to Query Device Code request.
  * Query Device Status	<ESC>[5n
      * Requests a Report Device Status response from the device.
  * Report Device OK	<ESC>[0n
      * Generated by the device in response to a Query Device Status request; indicates that device is functioning correctly.
  * Report Device Failure	<ESC>[3n
      * Generated by the device in response to a Query Device Status request; indicates that device is functioning improperly.
  * Query Cursor Position	<ESC>[6n
      * Requests a Report Cursor Position response from the device.
  * Report Cursor Position	<ESC>[{ROW};{COLUMN}R
      * Generated by the device in response to a Query Cursor Position request; reports current cursor position.

===== Terminal Setup =====
The h and l codes are used for setting terminal/display mode, and vary depending on the implementation. Line Wrap is one of the few setup codes that tend to be used consistently:
  * Reset Device		<ESC>c
      * Reset all terminal settings to default.
  * Enable Line Wrap	<ESC>[7h
      * Text wraps to next line if longer than the length of the display area.
  * Disable Line Wrap	<ESC>[7l
      * Disables line wrapping.

===== Fonts =====
Some terminals support multiple fonts: normal/bold, swiss/italic, etc. There are a variety of special codes for certain terminals; the following are fairly standard:
  * Font Set G0		<ESC>(
      * Set default font.
  * Font Set G1		<ESC>)
      * Set alternate font.

===== Cursor Control =====
  * Cursor Home 		<ESC>[{ROW};{COLUMN}H
      * Sets the cursor position where subsequent text will begin. If no row/column parameters are provided (ie. <ESC>[H), the cursor will move to the home position, at the upper left of the screen.
  * Cursor Up		<ESC>[{COUNT}A
      * Moves the cursor up by COUNT rows; the default count is 1.
  * Cursor Down		<ESC>[{COUNT}B
      * Moves the cursor down by COUNT rows; the default count is 1.
  * Cursor Forward		<ESC>[{COUNT}C
      * Moves the cursor forward by COUNT columns; the default count is 1.
  * Cursor Backward		<ESC>[{COUNT}D
      * Moves the cursor backward by COUNT columns; the default count is 1.
  * Force Cursor Position	<ESC>[{ROW};{COLUMN}f
      * Identical to Cursor Home.
  * Save Cursor		<ESC>[s
      * Save current cursor position.
  * Unsave Cursor		<ESC>[u
      * Restores cursor position after a Save Cursor.
  * Save Cursor & Attrs	<ESC>7
      * Save current cursor position.
  * Restore Cursor & Attrs	<ESC>8
      * Restores cursor position after a Save Cursor.

===== Scrolling =====
  * Scroll Screen		<ESC>[r
      * Enable scrolling for entire display.
  * Scroll Screen		<ESC>[{start};{end}r
      * Enable scrolling from row {start} to row {end}.
  * Scroll Down		<ESC>D
      * Scroll display down one line.
  * Scroll Up		<ESC>M
      * Scroll display up one line.

===== Tab Control =====
  * Set Tab 		<ESC>H
      * Sets a tab at the current position.
  * Clear Tab 		<ESC>[g
      * Clears tab at the current position.
  * Clear All Tabs 		<ESC>[3g
      * Clears all tabs.

===== Erasing Text =====
  * Erase End of Line	<ESC>[K
      * Erases from the current cursor position to the end of the current line.
  * Erase Start of Line	<ESC>[1K
      * Erases from the current cursor position to the start of the current line.
  * Erase Line		<ESC>[2K
      * Erases the entire current line.
  * Erase Down		<ESC>[J
      * Erases the screen from the current line down to the bottom of the screen.
  * Erase Up		<ESC>[1J
      * Erases the screen from the current line up to the top of the screen.
  * Erase Screen		<ESC>[2J
      * Erases the screen with the background colour and moves the cursor to home.

===== Printing =====
Some terminals support local printing:
  * Print Screen		<ESC>[i
      * Print the current screen.
  * Print Line		<ESC>[1i
      * Print the current line.
  * Stop Print Log		<ESC>[4i
      * Disable log.
  * Start Print Log		<ESC>[5i
      * Start log; all received text is echoed to a printer.

===== Define Key =====
  * Set Key Definition	<ESC>[{key};"{string}"p
      * Associates a string of text to a keyboard key. {key} indicates the key by its ASCII value in decimal.

===== Set Display Attributes =====
  * Set Attribute Mode	<ESC>[{attr1};...;{attrn}m
      * Sets multiple display attribute settings. The following lists standard attributes:

    0	Reset all attributes
    1	Bright
    2	Dim
