This is probably a dumb question. I've been told it's possible to write a php script that can be run from the shell like a perl script. You just have to have the first line point to where php is installed. Now I've installed PHP as an apache module on a Red Hat 6.2 box. Is it still possible to run php scripts from the shell, if so what would be the most likely place its installed. I have this horrible feeling I'm going to have to re-install php in CGI mode (given the disaster the install as module was I really don't want to try uninstall the module and then install php in cgi mode).
