How can special key combinations, such as Ctrl+G, be handled when interacting with a Telnet console in PHP?

Special key combinations, such as Ctrl+G, can be handled when interacting with a Telnet console in PHP by sending the appropriate ASCII control characters. For example, Ctrl+G corresponds to the ASCII character 7. To send Ctrl+G, you can use the chr() function to convert the ASCII value to a character and then send it to the Telnet console. 

<?php
// Connect to Telnet server
$telnet = fsockopen('telnet.example.com', 23);

// Send Ctrl+G (ASCII 7)
fwrite($telnet, chr(7));

// Close Telnet connection
fclose($telnet);
?>
