phpa-norl, a phpa port for Mac OS X and Windows

phpa is an interactive command line shell for PHP by David Phillips. Stefan Fischerländer, usually known as a SEO expert and Perl admirer, has patched phpa for Mac OS X and Windows (the default builds theredo not seem to support a feature required by phpa). The result: phpa-norl. Stefan successfully ran this on OS X, and I could confirm that it runs on Windows, as well:



phpa and phpa-norl come with a convenient history feature. Using it is simple: type PHP code as you go, with the following special features:

• If a line ends with #, phpa/phpa-norl assumes that there is more to come
• The command h gives you access to the command history, cursor keys let you navigate through it
• The command q quits the application (though something like die(); also works)
