After further investigation, I found the first "foo" was output by php, and the other one was returned from readline().

This behavior is different from php 5.4~5.6

This happens due to different library usage.

When PHP is compiled with `./configure --with-libedit --without-readline` (using Libedit as a replacement for readline) only one foo is output.

When PHP is compiled with `--configure --with-readline` (using GNU readline library), two foo strings are output.
