iphp is a php shell (or console, or repl, whatever you want to call it).

Others have written shells, so what’s the big deal with iphp? Well, every other php shell I saw dies if you cause a fatal error. That is really a pain since you lose your “state”. Also, many didn’t have readline support, or history support, or tab complete, and that is a must-have for me.

So I wrote iphp to solve these problems.

DEMO SCREENCAST

iphp was originally a sub-project of the phocoa php framework.

iphp include an extensible command infrastructure, and is intended to serve as a base for others to wrap and integrate with their own projects.
