'tput' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

On Windows (either CMD or PowerShell) you get extraneous output:

'tput' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

It comes from \splitbrain\phpcli\TableFormatter::__construct():

$width = @exec('tput cols');

When the tput command is not available the shell prints an error message on stderr and it's apparently transmitted to the shell where you run the PHP script. (Apparently bash is also subject to this but it isn't an issue because ncurses is normally installed.)

FWIW, this is how the getopt-php library (which does pretty much the same thing as this one) implemented terminal width detection (also using tput)

It works fine now, thank you very much.
