Clear php-a line history

Question

When i run php -a It brings up a handy shell for testing code quickly along with a history of every line I type. Is there any way to clear this history?

Using php 5.5.9 if this makes any difference

it will help... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13768437/change-save-path-of-php-interactive-shell-history — Elangovan, Jul 01 '15 at 11:06

For clear history you can use readline_clear_history()

readline_clear_history ( void );

This function clears the entire command line history.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

For Windows users, you can find the .php_history file in your home directory as well. I found mine at C:\Users\{my_name}\.php_history
