I was bored the other day again, and thought about some tiny component, which would be as well helpful for some other developers. And there the idea came: Console applications need to show the status somehow, and what is a better way than a progressbar? Well, without telling much, you can kinda simply test it out yourself. Get Zend/Console/ProgressBar.php from the Incubator, and use the following test code:

<?php
require_once 'Zend/Console/ProgressBar.php';

fwrite(STDOUT, "Please wait, while I sleep:\n");

$progressBar = new Zend_Console_ProgressBar();
for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) {
    $progressBar->update($i);
    usleep(1000000);
}

fwrite(STDOUT, "\n");

If you have any further improvements you want in this component, just tell me.

Features:

Custom min/max values
Custom order of elements (percent, ETA, bar) as well as leaving out elements
Automatic ETA calculation
Automatic window width calculation
