Bug description:"Delete", "ctrl"+ arrows don't work in interactive
interpreter

Description:
------------
When running PHP interactive interpreter with:
    
    php -a
    
"Delete" button doesn't work (produces ~ instead), jumping over words
with 
"Ctrl"+"Left Arrow" and "Ctrl"+"Right Arrow" doesn't
work either (;5D and

;5C, respectively). It annoys me a lot - I use php -a every day. 
Worth noting, that other interpreters (irb, ipython, etc.) work good.

The problem occurs in each distro I tried - (K)Ubuntu (PHP 5.4.9-4ubuntu2.1
(cli) 
(built: Jun 11 2013 13:10:01)), Fedora (PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2012

04:12:23)), RHEL (PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Nov 29 2012 04:12:23)). Works
good on 
Mac though.

Expected result:
----------------
Ctrl+arrows should move the cursor by words, delete should delete current 
character.

Actual result:
--------------
Ctrl+left arrow produces ;5D
Ctrl+right arrow produces ;5C
Delete produces ~
