Do you have any error messages at all?

If you want to use php as a CLI script interpreter you will 
also need to add the '--with-readline' option to configure. 
Otherwise php will execute scripts OK, but you will not be 
able to use php as an interactive interpreter for debugging 
single lines of php code, like a BASIC interpreter for 
example.
