Recently, I joined a web service company and the language we use is PHP. I am not so familiar with PHP, and I want to have the same experience as Ruby, using irb
to play with some functions. The PHP does give developers having the same interactive environment. My first guess war using php -i
to get into the interactive environment, but it was wrong, this shows tons of PHP information. After using man to figure out, the correct flag is -a
or --interactive
. Since, I already use irb
all the time, so I make a similar command, iphp
, to easily get into interactive environment.
alias iphp='php -a'
