Yes, it would be php5-cli, but since he's getting the response
from PHP (parse error) and not the environment saying the command
isn't found, it shows he's got the CLI installed. Ubuntu is actually
really helpful with a lot of that, too, since - if it can't find the
command - it'll suggest packages from APT to install which match the
command given.
