I’m using MAMP Version 2.0.5 (2.0.5) on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to use php’s interactive mode by

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php -a

it displays Interactive mode enabled and then hangs. No commands work.

This forum post says others have found it broken. Has anyone found a fix?

    It works fine.

    Type this after you see Interactive mode enabled:

    <?php
echo "test\n";
?>

    and press ctrl+d.

    test will be printed.

    To use the default php version that is shipped with OS X, you can do this in a terminal:

    mv /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php.bak
ln -s /usr/bin/php /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php
