Command-line PHP doesn't have to use TCP/IP at all. PHP run as an
Apache module or as a CGI can still use fopen() to write to files
(on the web server).

If MySQL has problems with the number of file descriptors it can
have open simultaneously for sockets, it also has problems with the
number of file descriptors it can have open simultaneously for
files.
