Description Aragon Gouveia 2009-05-23 20:50:01 UTC 
PHP's CLI SAPI supports an interactive mode when run with the -a parameter.  It behaves very similarly to Python's interactive "shell", complete with command history.  An example of this functionality can be seen here:

http://blog.charlvn.com/2009/05/php-interactive-mode.html

This feature is only available when PHP is compiled with Readline support enabled.  For some reason, it does not work when Readline support is enabled in the usual FreeBSD ports' modular fashion.  It must be enabled during the configuration/compilation of the PHP CLI SAPI itself.

I don't see a workaround to it not working with a modular Readline, so I propose adding a config option to lang/php5 that adds "--with-readline" to the configure parameters.

Fix: Potential patch attached.
