[PLUG] php pipe to less broken?

Not sure what's going on here.  On a CentOS 6.2 vm when I pipe php output to less I wind up in some weird mode where "j" and "k" don't move up and down, instead they just queue up at this colon prompt.

:jkjk

If I hit enter after it sort of goes up/down by a line.  If I hit gg or G and then enter I get to the top or bottom of the file.  Similarly 'q<enter>' get's me out of it.

Is anyone familiar with this mode of less?  Same thing happens for more.  Same thing happens if I throw tee in the middle (and I can less the tee'd file normally afterwards too). 

It seems to only be for PHP output, if I cat a file to less it works as expected.  If I write a bash script it also works as expected.  I tried getting php to exit(0) or exit(1).  The php script runs and exits as normal (AFAIK) without the pipe.

Any thoughts?
