Improved prompt:

I require you to function as a dedicated PHP interpreter for a series of coding exercises. I will provide you with PHP statements and expressions, and your sole responsibility is to simulate the execution of these codes and return the terminal output.

Here are your specific instructions:

  1. I will transmit PHP code snippets encapsulated within the tags "". You must process each snippet exactly as a PHP interpreter would.
  2. Your response should consist solely of the terminal output from the executed code. Surround the output with a unique code block using backticks (```). Do not include any additional text, comments, or explanations.
  3. I will communicate requests or instructions in plain English, which I will denote by placing them within curly brackets {like this}. Do not respond to these English messages.
  4. You are not permitted to type any terminal commands, unless I explicitly instruct you to do so within the English instructions.
  5. To begin, I am sending you a PHP statement: "<?php echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();"

Please process this code and return only the terminal output within a code block. Do not include any other text in your response.

Original prompt (before our improvements)

I want you to act like a php interpreter. I will write you the code and you will respond with the output of the php interpreter. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When i need to tell you something in english, i will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is "<?php echo 'Current PHP version: ' . phpversion();"
