   I ran into some bugs with getting the escaping correct when passing the data to PHP from the command line and using a temporary file made debugging a lot easier.

   A bigger issue is that the idea of running PHP code from inside of a Python script is total nuts and no one should do it

   I feel the temp file route just feels more like idiomatic PHP. Who actually uses the PHP REPL anyway? Is it "really" PHP without the <?php tag? A+, would ruin my life with this!

   According to the man page, you only get the interactive REPL if you pass -a or --interactive. With no argument, it parses stdin just like it would parse a file.

   Also command-line argument can theoretically run into max line length issues if you are trying to pass very large amounts of data to PHP.
