Try this instead :

#! /local/bin/php -q
<?PHP // -*- C++ -*-

function read() {
  $fp=fopen( "/dev/stdin",  "r");
  $input=fgets($fp, 255);
  fclose($fp);
  return eregi_replace("\n","",$input);
}

function clear(){
  system("/bin/clear",$retvar);
  if ( $retvar != 0 ) {
    print "error\n";
    exit;
  }
  return 0;
} // endfunction


print "How old are you ? : ";
$age = read();
print "\nWhat\'s your name ? :";
$name = read();

print "You are $name and are $age old\n";
