note 98520 added to features.commandline.interactive

Just a few more notes to add... 1) Hitting return does literally mean "execute this command". Semicolon to note end of line is still required. Meaning, doing the following will produce a parse error: php > print "test" php > print "asdf"; Whereas doing the following is just fine: php > print "test" php > ."asdf"; 2) Fatal errors may eject you from the shell: name@local:~$ php -a php > asdf(); Fatal Error: call to undefined function... name@local:~$ 3) User defined functions are not saved in history from shell session to shell session. 4) Should be obvious, but to quit the shell, just type "quit" at the php prompt. 5) In a sense, the shell interaction can be thought of as linearly following a regular php file, except it's live and dynamic. If you define a function that you've already defined earlier in your current shell, you will receive a fatal "function already defined" error only upon entering that closing bracket. And, although "including" a toolset of custom functions or a couple of script addon php files is rather handy, should you edit those files and wish to "reinclude" it again, you'll cause a fatal "function x already defined" error. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 70.124.94.109 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.interactive.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98520 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98520 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98520 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
