Stop die()ing all the time
PsySH can be used as an interactive debugger, much like JavaScript's debugger statement, saving you
from endless var_dump() and die() iterations. Just drop this line in where you'd like to
have a breakpoint:
eval(\Psy\sh());
![Auto<code>[tab][tab]</code>Complete](/assets/img/autocomplete.png)
Auto[tab][tab]Complete
PsySH has tab completion for variable names, functions, classes, methods, properties, and even files!
Just start typing, then hit [tab]. But you probably already guessed that.
(Tab completion requires Readline- or Libedit-enabled PHP. But you really should have that anyway)
Name all the spaces
Most PHP shells are terrible at namespaces. PsySH does just what you'd expect.
Read documentation in context
Have a question about a core PHP function? Try doc array_map.
Want to read the documentation for an object property? Run doc $response->statusTexts.
>>> help doc
Reflect like a boss
The ls command knows all about your code — and everyone else's. Easily list and search
all variables, constants, classes, interfaces, traits, functions, methods and properties.
>>> help ls
Use the source!
Easily show the source code for any userland object, class, interface, trait, constant, method or property.
>>> help show
Forget to catch that last exception?
No worries, PsySH has your back. We caught it for you, and made it available via the wtf command.
>>> help wtf
Learn from your history and repeat your past
Show, search, save and replay your shell history.
>>> help history
Roll your own commands
If the awesome features listed above aren't enough for you, you can write your own commands! PsySH has first-class
support for custom commands — just register them in your ~/.config/psysh/config.php.
