special chars not shown in php interpreter

Working example.

On my local Gentoo Box i open php -a and try to type in echo "äöü"; and it echoes

äöü

Now the actually problem.

On my Ubuntu Server, connected with urxvt (tried xterm too), everything in LC_* is set to de_DE.utf8 i launch php -a and try to press ä and absolute nothing happens.

PHP Version on Gentoo: PHP 5.3.18-pl0-gentoo (cli) (built: Dec 20 2012 10:15:21) PHP Version on my Ubuntu Server: PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 12 2012 18:59:41)

php interactive shell does not support multibyte characters if php was not compiled with '--with-readline' option.
