MAMP's php interactive mode broken?
mamp, php
Solution
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
Problem
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?
