PHP REPL没有实现readline的行编辑和历史记录功能。我不知道是否有一个PHP模块实现了它，但你可以这样做：

rlwrap php artisan tinker

字符串
您可能需要为您的操作系统安装rlwrap。

这是由于PHP没有使用readline支持。您可以在使用--with-readline参数编译和构建PHP时启用此功能。

我的操作系统：centos我解决了这个问题：

sudo yum install rlwrap
alias tinker='rlwrap php artisan tinker'

在我的例子中，我需要安装php7-readline

sudo zypper in php7-readline
