Bug #65714 PHP cli forces the tty to cooked mode
Submitted: 2013-09-19 15:34 UTC Modified: 2013-11-15 08:38 UTC

Description:
------------
I am running a PHP script at the command line and piping the output through less:

    ./myScript | less

Since less is an interactive program it puts the terminal into 'raw' mode so
that it can read characters one at a time. However, when I do the above I find
that the commands that I type to less are echoed back to me and not acted on
until I type <RETURN>. This is not as it should be.

The sript is not doing anything clever, just generating 100 lines:
    for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
        echo "i=$i\n";

This has been discussed on the Internals mail list, the thread starts here:

Test script:

I suggest a solution here:

A simple solution is to not call using_history() which seems not required with libedit (haven't test with readline).

Without this call, readline_* functions still work as expected.

A explicit call to readline_read_history still required to keep history across runs.
