Installation of PHP as a binary

[Anon]

I'm coding a script that requires email parsing that's piped to a PHP script. However, the server I'm on does not have PHP compiled as a binary. I'm wondering what commands do I need to run on my shell account to configure and make PHP as binary file for my PHP based shell scripts?

this is a work around since your server does not have the standalone php binary.

to execute a shell script, you could use one of these functions:

exec();

passthru();

etc.

then call it from a URL.

in this case, the script that you are coding must call the URL either through lynx, wget, etc.
