ctrl-z signals end-of-file. On *nix that's ctrl-d (ctrl-z on *nix is for job
control).

An end-of-file signal also exiting PHP. So you can't type additional PHP code.

And you also don't see the main problem/difference:
With PHP5.2/*nix or PHP5.2/Win I can see the output from an echo() after a
<return>. With PHP5.3/Win (don't have PHP5.3/*nix) I must exit from PHP
(ctrl-z / ctrl-c) to see the output from an echo().

PHP5.2:
| D:\PHP\php-5.2.12-win32>php -n -a
| Interactive mode enabled
|
| <?php
| echo 'test';
| test^Z
|
| D:\PHP\php-5.2.12-win32>

PHP5.3:
| D:\PHP\php-5.3.1-win32>php -n -a
| Interactive mode enabled
|
| <?php
| echo 'test';
| ^Z
| test
| D:\PHP\php-5.3.1-win32>


So for now it looks like PHP5.3/Win is buffering the output (and the whole
buffer is flushed while PHP is exiting). PHP 5.2 is not buffering the output
and you can see the output immediately.
