PHP Interactive Mode, phpsh

[Aimelyne Mochiron]

Hi David,

To enable PHP interactive mode, either readline or libedit must be compiled into the PHP binary. To do that, edit lang/php5's Makefile to add to CONFIGURE_ARGS either '--with-readline' or '--with-libedit' (the library you pick must be installed on your system).

Note that php -nm will list readline irrespective of whether you compiled it or libedit in; phpinfo() will report the correct configure command, however.

I'm afraid I can't help IRT phpsh, as I'm not familiar with it.

HTH,
