Announcement: I'm looking to add one or two additional collaborators with commit access. If you are actively involved in open source and have a GitHub profile for review, ping me on Twitter (@d11wtq) to express your interest. Experienced developers with active GitHub projects only., (*3)

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., (*5)
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., (*6)
Note: The PCNTL function which is required to run Boris is not available on Windows platforms., (*7)
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., (*8)
Check out our wonderful wiki for usage instructions., (*9)
We're committed to a loosely-coupled architecture for Boris and would love to get your contributions., (*10)
Before jumping in, check out our Contributing page on the wiki!, (*11)
We're using PHPUnit for testing. To run all the tests,, (*12)
phpunit --bootstrap tests/autoload.php -c tests.xml
