Can PHP be run interactively in Knoppix?

[pitiful_n00b]

I believe that I can run PHP interactively in Linux using the -a command line option, but it is not working for me in Knoppix. Is there a trick that I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

$ apt-cache search php|grep interpr
php4-cli - command-line interpreter for the php4 scripting language
php5-cli - command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language

Is this what you are looking for?

Thank you for the response, but I don't seem to have the interpreters. I am running Knoppix 5.0.1

# apt-cache search php
