Boris

REPL stands for "read–eval–print loop" and is a simple, interactive computer programming environment, mainly for debugging.

It's a stable feature in most programming languages, starting from Lisp and going up to Python, Clojure or Ruby. But not in PHP.

Boris implements such a system for PHP, enhancing PHP's console with an interactive code testing utility.
