Meet Boris, a tiny REPL for PHP

Chris Corbyn was frustrated with PHP’s lack of a good REPL, so he took matters into his own hands and created Boris. I can relate to Chris’s experience. Back when I used to write WordPress plugins I got so frustrated by the lack of a Rails-like interactive console that I created one for WordPress.

Boris is cooler than my little plugin because it works outside of WordPress and runs directly in your terminal. Check it out in action:

You can install Boris via Packagist or use it directly by cloning the repo:

git clone git://github.com/d11wtq/boris.git
cd boris
./bin/boris

This and much more information about the REPL is available in the README. Boris is MIT licensed and hosted on GitHub.
