I am struggling to understand how readline history is supposed to work. 
Is it? Neither the bash-style up-arrow nor C-P (scavenged from some 
python-readline docs; most of the readline specific key bindings quoted 
there like C-A or C-E work though ...) works to scroll back through the 
line buffer. Did you set any other default key binding?

Mind you, trying to hack it, I just had a very cursory glance at the PHP 
readline wrapper ... it doesn't seem to provide a get_history_item() or 
similar function?! Maybe I'm missing sth.

Regards,

Frank

Are you sure to have php compiled with the readline module?
Without readline-module the php-shell will work just fine - but without 
history.
If php is compiled with readline-module (and module is activated) you 
can use bash-style up- and down-arrow.
