On the Linux box compile PHP as CGI (i.e. don't configure it as an apache

The easiest way, in my opinion, is to make your PHP script into a shell
script or to call it with PHP yourself. A Red Hat Linux box is going to
have a command line PHP located somewhere like /usr/bin/php. So, make
the first line of your PHP script something like this:
#! /usr/bin/php
On the Linux box compile PHP as CGI (i.e. don't configure it as an apache
mod). Then you can just run your script from the the command-line.
For example:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
?php
print Hello world.\n;
?
The -q suppresses the html crap that gets spit out. I don't know jack
