phpsh is an interactive read-eval-print-loop (REPL) shell for PHP, developed at Facebook and written mostly in Python. It offers readline history, tab completion, quick documentation access, and ctags integration for exploring codebases.
Use cases
- interactive php repl
- test php snippets in a shell
- explore a php codebase interactively
- php shell with tab completion
- quickly evaluate php expressions from terminal
When to choose
- you want an interactive PHP shell on a legacy PHP 5 environment
- you need ctags-integrated exploration of a PHP codebase from the terminal
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or supported tool - the project is archived since 2014
- your PHP binary already includes the readline module (pure PHP alternatives exist)
- you use modern PHP 7/8 features
