You forgot that PHP-CGI *IS* a commandline executable intended to deal with
pipelined I/O from/to server.
And You still can use it instead of CLI (either knowing that or by accident).

JFYI:
<stdout>:php-cgi.exe --help
Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s] [-v] [-i] [-f <file>]
php <file> [args...]

[snip]


<stdout>:php.exe --help
Usage: php [options] [-f] <file> [--] [args...]
php [options] -r <code> [--] [args...]
php [options] [-B <begin_code>] -R <code> [-E <end_code>] [--] [args...]
php [options] [-B <begin_code>] -F <file> [-E <end_code>] [--] [args...]
php [options] -- [args...]
php [options] -a

[snip]


Not a big difference, You see. Basically no difference in general,
same [-f <filename>] syntax for both versions of interpreter.
