I know you can start php -a and go into interactive mode. This works
well exept you have to keep putting <?php code here ; bla blah code ;

Couple of problems with this.

1) Exits php when you make an error.

2) When you type a command; it displays the result but does not do an
automatic CR/LF

Would be nice if it opened up in a window, and you just type and press
enter and see the result on the next line.

Allow you to move up to a previous command and edit and press Enter.

This would allow people to test commands and learn. You could even load
personal functions from a php file to do some testing

Anyone know of a nice php interactive shell like Python's?

Thanks
