Hello Rasmus, I know what you are talking about. "Nice" means auto-completion for variables, builtin functions, etc. after pressing <Tab> key. But basic support (without auto-completion) should be still available in Windows. Is there anybody with Linux to try run "php -a" and tell us how to send typed code to execution?
