Ummm well since the standard build of php is just a commandline utility you could quite easily use it from any programming language that allowed commandline access...

EG - On windows systems...

php.exe hello.php

All the php executable does is executes the script and echo's back the results, html code, etc... if any...

Simple isn't it 🙂

In UNIX:

test.php:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
echo "Test\n";
?>

make sure to put the right path to your php executable. Also make sure to make your .php file executable (permission wise). Here are my results:

root@ns1:~# ./test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.0
Content-type: text/html

Test

Hope this helps, Gavin
