how to compile php with the --with-readline option

Question

I recently asked this question about a PHP interactive shell, similar to python's. after viewing this page it looks like what I need to do is compile PHP with the --with-readline option. The problem is, on Windows, I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me?

This is true, although there are some "workarounds" that might help you. See the comments at http://php.net/manual/en/function.readline.php – Oldskool Dec 13 '11 at 15:26

As of PHP 7.1, ext/readline is supported on Windows and is delivered with the official builds. See UPGRADING for details.

Thanks.
