readline_write_history() doesn't take care of the $_SERVER['HISTSIZE'] value, here's an example on how to handle an history file in your apps taking care of user preferences regarding history size.



at the begining of your script:

<?php

$history_file = $_SERVER['HOME'].'/.PHPinteractive_history';

# read history from previous session

if(is_file($history_file))

  readline_read_history($history_file);

....

# your application's code

....

# put this at the end of yur script to save history and take care of $_SERVER['HISTSIZE']

if( readline_write_history($history_file) ){

  # clean history if too long

  $hist = readline_list_history();

  if( ($histsize = count($hist)) > $_SERVER['HISTSIZE'] ){

    $hist = array_slice($hist, $histsize - $_SERVER['HISTSIZE']);

    # in php5 you can replaces thoose line with a file_puts_content()

    if( $fhist = fopen($history_file,'w') ){

      fwrite($fhist,implode("\n",$hist));

      fclose($fhist);

    }

  }

}

?>
