The php man page for the cli has a comment here detailing a solution, (copied here for anyone else looking)
<?phpecho "Are you sure you want to do this? Type 'yes' to continue: ";$handle = fopen ("php://stdin","r");$line = fgets($handle);if(trim($line) != 'yes'){ echo "ABORTING!\n"; exit;}fclose($handle);echo "\n"; echo "Thank you, continuing...\n";?>
