Demo has incorrect command...

[davidjeddy]

... the first demo animation has the example command ...

sudo ./phpspy -- php -r 'usleep(100000);'

However, this returns an error:

popen_read_line: No stdout; cmd=objdump -Tt /proc/20194/root//usr/bin/php7.2 | awk '/ basic_functions_module$/{print $1; exit}'
get_symbol_offset: Failed
process_vm_readv: No such process

The correct command is ...

sudo ./phpspy -r -- php -r 'usleep(100000);'

Please update the examples. I would also like to recommend usage of asciinema.

Either of those commands should work, although -r with no argument is a no-op. I will update those docs. There is a potential race condition if the PHP process finishes before phpspy tries to attach.

The popen_read_line error is expected and recoverable if the PHP binary does not contain debug symbols.
