Aha! This is a tack we hadn't considered, thanks.


<tip author="Garrett Coakley" type="Compiling PHP for use in shell
scripts">

If you want to use PHP for server administration tasks then compile it
with the --enable-cli flag. This will generate a cli version of the PHP
interpreter which you can then use for PHP shell scripts by adding the
shebang line;

#!/usr/bin/php

at the top of your php scripts.

(This will be uneeded in version 4.3 as the CLI part will be compiled
automatically)
