There is no trick. And without > libreadline there really is no point. Maybe you have another PHP-CLI then me on *nix (5.2.11)? Without libreadline it's working a similar way on *nix, of course I have to type the starting "<?php" myself: | # php -a | Interactive mode enabled | | <?php | $a=5; | $a++; | echo $a.PHP_EOL; | 6 At this point I can enter more code. Or exit PHP with: | ^C | | # But on Windows that's buggy: | # php -a | Interactive mode enabled | | <?php | $a=5; | $a++; | echo $a.PHP_EOL; | Nothing happens on Windows at this point. The cursor is in the next line waiting for input. But, if I now enter "^C", I can see the result: | 6 | | # So on Windows the whole code/input is executed at once and not step by step. And because PHP is also terminated with "^C", I can't enter additional code. Regards, Carsten

Which PHP version did you use that shows the buggy behaviour? Best regards, Sascha -- Preisknaller: GMX DSL Flatrate f�r nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl01

All PHP 5.3.x versions. With PHP 5.2.x it's correct and the same behavior like on *nix. Just curious, if I test this more then one time, sometimes I can see the output with "^C", and sometimes not? BTW: It's always a VC6-TS build and XP SP3 32bit. Regards, Carsten |
