run php script in debian

i have a php script and i want to run it on debian, by using commandline, not placing into apache web root

i'm using debian 5 lenny, apache2 and php5

as referred from the Internet, people often use "php <file_name.php>" to run a php file. However when i used 'php', it's said 'command not found'. I'm definitely sure that php5's successfully been installed, and I also tested by displaying a php file from localhost.

Now I do't use debian or any apt-based OSes atm ... there's a dpkg option
that lists all the files which belong to package. Look through your php5
stuff using that; alternatively (given the way debian breaks packages up
in little, individually installed chunks ...) maybe check whether there's
some PHP packages that may hold the command-line executable that
you didn't install after all?

Cheers,
Tink

You're right Tink. The CLI is in the chunk named, strangely enough, "php5-cli"

tuananh87vn try this command:

Code:

 $: aptitude search ~i | grep php5

i  libapache2-mod-php5            - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu

i  php5-cgi                                  - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting langu

i  php5-cli                                  - command-line interpreter for the php5 scri

i A php5-common                      - Common files for packages built from the p

i A php5-gd                                - GD module for php5

i A php5-mcrypt                          - MCrypt module for php5
