is it true that you have to keep on typing

<? php statements ?>

on each line?

anything just to test the programming side and let you omit the <?

php -a is only truly "interactive" when compiled with readline support,
otherwise it waits for eof before executing anything. You still don't
need <?...?with it. There's also -r option for immediate code execution.
