PHP5 shell interpreter or other ideas? [SOLVED]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there are any php programmers around here that can give me some tips...

I'm no PHP expert but I have a website all programmed in PHP that I want to rebuild to make use of object oriented programming. I have already installed PHP5 since it has some more features regarding OOP. PHP5 and apache are working fine together. My current website loads just as fine with PHP5 as with would with PHP4.

My problem is that I used to run the php shell interpreter to run, verify syntax and debug my PHP4 scripts and now, I can't seem to find anything similar for PHP5. There's no dev-php/php-5* ebuild!

Does it have any other name? Do you use PHP5? How do you debug and verify you php files syntax without using a webbrowser?

Thanks!

As far as I recall, the mod_php and the php ebuilds have been moved to one (then again, this may only be true if you follow one specific way of upgrading).

For now, I would say, just try php -v at the command line and check what happens...

use dev-lang/php-5.*, and enable the "cli" use flag
