But, a common mechanism (and as a windows only user, I'm 50% guessing here) in getting a "file" to run it's handler is to add a line to the top of the file which the shell you are running uses to determine the program responsible for handling it. On Windows, this is a combination of the extension and the registry (controlled by assoc and ftype). On *nix, the line at the top of the script seems to to a similar thing. #!/usr/bin/php http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/php-command-line-1 seems like a good place to start. There may be some issue with the line. The install may be in a different location or have a different name (#!/usr/local/bin/php-cgi for example).
