Hi

You might want to download the php source and compile the cli binary yourself
(Command Line Interface)

It takes only little time compared to compiling it as an apache module

Once you got thing setup, you can drop the php extension and just put a
shebang like this

#! /usr/bin/php

At the start of the file.

Feel free to check out these few
php utilities that I released under the GPL2 and
that are meant for use with a php cli binary:
