In order to prevent this behaviour, the C API of readline provides a variable named "rl_attempted_completion_over". Defining this variable to a non-zero value disables the uses of the default filename completion. This variable is not exposed to PHP and the filename completion cannot be bypassed. The provided patch exposes this variable to PHP, and allows to use readline_info("attempted_completion_over", 1) in the PHP completion function to prevent default filename completion to occurs. There is a bug report but it s closed since 2005 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31796 Another bug report for this https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48089 with a patch which does the job but in a wrong way, imo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55694&edit=1
