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.

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.
