PHP from command line

Hello! I noticed that it's possible to use PHP from command line. It's very useful in some projects where I need PHP's features but not web server. Just use command php.exe [script] > [result file] Anyway, I haven't found a solve to problem how I can transfer data to the PHP in this way? How does the web servers give sent form data etc for PHP? Do I have to save the form data to a file and then give the path to this file on the command or something like that? I have some plannings to make a web server program in future and I'd like to include also a support for PHP and other CGI-scripts to it. ................................
