I am new to PHP, and I just wanted to run PHP in a command prompt (interactive mode).
So I typed this code:
`php -v`
``
If following your command with Ctrl + D isn't working, you probably don't have Interactive Shell
(which apparently gives input after each line). That requires compiling php
with special options. But if php -a
says interactive mode
, you can type directly into it and send Ctrl + Z at the end of the file.
php -a
interactive mode enabled
^Z
(Hit enter)
hello there world!
phpinfo....
There's more information in the comments in the PHP comments.
