Description: ------------ I'm not sure this is feasible but it would be really useful. I was thinking something along what's described here http://bluedynamics.com/articles/jens/interlude-write-python-doctests- interactive . We would have have some kind of stopword, eg //interact , that would signal the include of a file which would import the code that had been run up until that point into an interactive session. As soon as the user exited the session the doctest would continue its normal business. Do you think this is feasible in php? Test script: --------------- Expected result: ---------------- Actual result: --------------

Hi Sofia, I like the idea, maybe this could be implemented by using the PHP_Shell (https://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Shell) PEAR package, but I'm not sure this package is still very maintained alas :( I'll look at it when I have more time, meanwhile feel free to try something if you can ! cheers, David

Closing this bug, I won't have time to implement this, if someone comes with a patch for this I'll be happy to integrate it. Regards, -- David
