Subject: php5-cli: No prompt; commands are just echoed instead of executed

Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 17:50:00 +0200

Package: php5-cli
Version: 5.2.0-10.1~highlightbg
Severity: important

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

If I start php5 in interactive mode (-a switch), then I get no prompt. Even
worse, entered code is not executed but just echoed if I stop via ^D. If I
do the same on a remote system (Suse) over SSH, then I get the "php> " prompt
and code gets executed directly.

Simple example:

> $ php5 -a
> Interactive mode enabled
>
> echo "Hello world!";
>

Pressing Enter after the command just results in nothing; the cursor just moves
to the next line.

retitle 419250 php5-cli: No prompt in interactive mode; commands are just echoed instead of executed
thanks

$ php5 -a
Interactive mode enabled

<?php echo "Hello world!"; ?>
Hello world


You need to use <?php and ?>. 
The prompt is not available because the readline extension is not enabled.

Kind regards,
