sfConsolePlugin

Provides a php shell with completion capabilities.

Installation

• Install the plugin

  $ symfony plugin:install sfConsolePlugin
  

• You're all set !

Use the console

The console is started with the console:run task. You should be able enter any valid PHP code, and the console will try its best to evaluate it.

Features

• readline support. Basically it means you get an history of what you previously typed
• Oh, by the way, that history will persist accross sessions
• Completion for built-in and user defined functions, classes and constants
• Exceptions are catched and you can get the backtrace separately

Limitations

Since the code gets eval()'d, and since some parts of PHP like error management are a bit crappy (also, I'm a bit lazy), there are some known limitations that I don't plan to work on:

• Not loaded classes can not be completed (those loaded with the autoload for example)
• Variables can't be tab-completed
• Fatal errors in the eval()'d scripts will terminate the console
• Error messages and Exceptions' backtraces won't feature useful line numbers

Special commands

• exit: exits the console (amazing heh)
• help: not yet implemented
• backtrace: display the last exception's backtrace if any

Todo

• Support for multi-line constructs
• Support to run symfony tasks from within the console
• Better command completion
