I know that Johannes has added 'php -a' as native shell. But it has a major problem which is not easy to handle: - FATAL errors kill the shell That limits the use of the interactive shell dramaticly. PHP::Shell is a pure PHP implementation and uses ext/tokenizer to pre-parse the input-line for FATAL errors and handles them nicely. The purpose of the interactive shell is the same as for all interactive shells: - it simplifies debugging - it eases the first steps into the application - inline help, tab-completion and autoload() are handy additions for a shell. > You can find more detailed information here: > http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=397 Jan -- Jan Kneschke http://jan.kneschke.de/ Perhaps you want to say 'thank you, jan': http://jk.123.org/wishlist/
