display command output page per page

Good afternoon,

I wonder how i could use unix commands to ease the reading of long command result output ?
like the "php -i" or any other command that returns a long answer.

I could not find the right terms to Google it or search the forum. Therefore I bother you with this question.

if possible, I'd like to be able to read it like a 'man aProgram' entry.

I hope someone will help me with this question, that is not crucial but would still very helpful.

thanks
