![Demo](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/508607/BorisDemo-v4.gif "Quick Demo")

Python has one. Ruby has one. Clojure has one. Now PHP has one, too. Boris is

PHP's missing REPL (read-eval-print loop), allowing developers to experiment

with PHP code in the terminal in an interactive manner.  If you make a mistake,

it doesn't matter, Boris will report the error and stand to attention for

further input.

Everything you enter into Boris is evaluated and the result inspected so you

can understand what is happening.  State is maintained between inputs, allowing

you to gradually build up a solution to a problem.

> __Note:__ The PCNTL function which is required to run Boris is not available on Windows platforms.

## Why?

I'm in the process of transitioning away from PHP to Ruby.  I have come to find

PHP's lack of a real REPL to be frustrating and was not able to find an existing

implementation that was complete.  Boris weighs in at a few hundred lines of

fairly straightforward code.
