iphp is an interactive php shell that solves a number of painful problems with normal php shells:
- Fatal Error handling - iphp doesn't die even if your code does.
- optional readline support
- readline support includes: autocomplete, history, line editing
- support ctags tags files
- implemented as a class for integration with your framework
- support for require/include; you can load php files within iphp
- extensible command system
Example:
php> new ArrayObject(array(1,2))
=> ArrayObject Object
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
php> $_[0] + 1
=> 2
php> \help
alias(es) <help>
