This is a rather excellent feature of PHP, and it really makes sense when:
- You have an existing body of code that you are running within your webserver, and you want to leverage that when writing maintenance scripts, e.g. cron jobs.
- You're an experienced PHP developer, but are not familar enough with the UNIX shell, or other scripting options languages like Perl and Python.

It is good to test quickly some php code...
Code:
php -r 'echo str_replace("borks", "rocks", "php in command line borks")."\n";'
