Where do you call this? The readline module works (and is loaded) only for the CLI php version, mod_php doesn't support it. What does "/usr/lib/php5/bin/php -i | grep -i readline" output? Best regards, CHTEKK.
Thanks for the reply, that was the problem. I was trying to call the function from the apache module. It does work from the command line so I guess I was using it incorrectly. Thanks!
