title: No output from PHP interactive on Windows
body: <p>I'm running php interactively from xampp (5.4.7) on my Win 7 machine and cannot get any output from the window.  I searched around various solutions and nothing so far has worked.  Here's a sample:
      C:\xampp>php -v
      PHP 5.4.7 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2012 23:48:31)
      Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
      Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\xampp&gt;php -a
  Interactive mode enabled
  
  &lt;?
  echo "hi";
  printf "hi";
  fwrite (STDOUT, "hi");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any other ideas???</p>
  
  <p>I also tried php -an and setting output_buffing Off in the php.ini, all to no avail.  </p>
  
  <p>Basically my aim is mostly to use this as a testbed for php expressions as well as running some local scripts.</p>
