If you have PHP installed use the command:

php <php script>

where <php script> is the name of the PHP script you would like to run.

Hi.

You can use:

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php

#  @(#) s1      Demonstrate one way to call php.
// @(#) s1      Demonstrate one way to call php.

print "\n";
print " Hello, world from php.\n";
print "\n";

?>

Producing:

% ./s1

 Hello, world from php.

Noted by:

You can use a shebang line to automatically invoke php from scripts.
Only the CLI version of PHP will ignore such a first line as shown
below:

#!/bin/php
<?php
// your script
?>
