Installation

To use these functions the CGI or CLI version of PHP must be compiled with readline support. You need to configure PHP --with-readline.

On Windows this extension is available by default as of PHP 7.1.0.

Changelog

Version Description
8.4.0 Configure option --with-libedit has been removed in favor of the --with-readline which now doesn't accept a DIR argument anymore in favor of the pkg-config and now links to the libedit library, a non-GPL replacement for the GNU Readline library.
