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.
| 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. |
