Hello Internals,
I am unable to call readline_on_new_line() function.
I am posting this to internals to confirm whether it is a bug or an issue
with docs.
The manual suggests that this function is available on php 8.
https://php.net/manual/en/function.readline-on-new-line.php
However, when I invoke this in my script, it informs of calling an unknown
function. Other readline functions, such as readline(),
readline_read_history(), readline_write_history(), do work.
I wrote to shell var_dump(function_exists('readline_on_new_line'));. It
responded with bool(false). I wrote,
var_dump(extension_loaded('readline')). It said, bool(true).
Note: my PHP version (PHP_VERSION) is 8.0.5.
Any type of help will be appreciated.
Kind regards
Hamza Ahmad

Please report such things on the bug tracker first always, so it can
be checked there -- that part of why we have a bug tracker, to confirm
such things or not.

Hi Hamza,
This function is only available if the HAVE_RL_ON_NEW_LINE feature is
available. I'm not sure whether the readline version on Windows doesn't
support this, or whether the flag just isn't set. Maybe Christoph can
comment on that?

Windows uses wineditline[1], and that library doesn't implement
rl_on_new_line(), so the PHP function is not supposed to be available
there. I've just updated the docs[2].
