Hey I know that you can take input from a user via a html form and then use $_POST[] or $_GET[] but is there any other way to get input without using html forms? |

Not really, for web applications. If you really want to, you can user javascript's confirm(); prompt(); et cetera, then send it back with ajax, but that's probably more than you'll want to do. If you're doing console programming, you can get input from standard input. |

Like in ruby gets can be used to take input from user. Is there anything of that sort in PHP? |

Not for web based development. If you are interacting with the user via the command line (like you normally would in ruby), you can read from the file identifier STDIN using the normal file functions. |
