Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60683&edit=1 ID: 60683 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: davey@php.net Summary: Interactive Mode doesn't reach prompt -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: CGI/CLI related Operating System: OSX 10.7.2 & Ubuntu 11.04 PHP Version: 5.4.0RC5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The classic interactive mode is different from the shell mode, just re-using the flag. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-17 18:30:46] davey@php.net Can we make the output here (http://lxr.php.net/opengrok/xref/PHP_5_4/sapi/cli/php_cli.c#906) be a little more descriptive? i.e.: printf("Interactive mode enabled\n"); printf("No readline/libedit support, use ^D to execute and quit.\n\n"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-16 19:18:01] rk at srsbiz dot pl @dragoonis readline is only required to make this mode truly interactive (with command history, function completion etc), but it also works without it. You can type/paste your code and it will be executed as soon as EOF (^D) is reached, so it's rather documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-15 01:58:33] dragoonis@php.net @rk, If there's support required for another library then it shouldn't let you enter interactive mode, and back out, giving you a useful error message to tell you there are missing dependencies.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-13 21:45:44] rk at srsbiz dot pl IMHO it's not a bug, to have interactive shell you have to configure with readline support, not just clean './configure' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-08 05:37:10] dragoonis@php.net I confirmed this case with davey on Mac OSX Lion Darwin Paul-Dragooniss-MacBook-Pro.local 11.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug 9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1699.24.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 05:10 macosx lion..
