Re: [PHP-WIN] PHP console (php.exe -a)

Hello Rasmus,
I know what you are talking about. "Nice" means auto-completion for
variables, builtin functions, etc. after pressing <Tab> key. But basic
support (without auto-completion) should be still available in
Windows.

Is there anybody with Linux to try run "php -a" and tell us how to
send typed code to execution?

Thanks
Libor
