Did you reuse the same build directory from before? Did you make clean/git clean it before the second build? > Interestingly, in my copy of PHP 8.0.x (provided by the ondrej packages for > Ubuntu), I see the following prompt: The relevant php_cli.c source [1] has changed some with 8.1, that is true: if (interactive) { if (cli_shell_callbacks.cli_shell_run) { printf("Interactive shell\n\n"); } else { printf("Interactive mode enabled\n\n"); /* Treat as non-interactive apart from the stdin input */ interactive = false; } With 8.0 and before, there were still two messages displayed [2]: "shell" if you had specifically libreadline or libedit support and "mode" if not. What about building the same 8.0.x version yourself?

Interestingly, in my copy of PHP 8.0.x (provided by the ondrej packages for Ubuntu), I see the following prompt: $ php8.0 -a Interactive mode enabled php > ...Is this "Interactive mode enabled" / "Interactive shell" verbage something new to PHP 8.1? If that discrepancy isn't new, then readline might be a red herring, because it's working as expected when that prompt is displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-05-12 02:08:18] requinix@php.net "Interactive mode enabled" means that it is reading from stdin but does not give you a full shell. The prompt you're expecting comes after an "Interactive shell" message. Did you build with readline support? I don't see a --with-readline in your configure command. Or anything else, for that matter. And just in case, what commit did you build from? Was it HEAD within the last ~16 hours? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-05-12 01:15:48] security at paragonie dot com Description: ------------ Currently, I get the following result when I try to start an interactive session: $ php -a Interactive mode enabled ...but it hangs forever without prompting at all.
