I'm trying to have my php script wait for a person to press enter for debugging reasons. I tried to use the readline function and gut the following error

readLine is giving me a call for undefined function error

The PHP documentation said it worked for ver 4, 5, 7

The

echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();

gave me the following

Current PHP version: 5.6.30L

which i believe is version 5.

My test code for readline:

readline ("ted");
DIE("stop");
