The PHP CLI as its called ( php for the Command Line Interface ) is called php.exe
It lives in c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.x.y\php.exe ( where x and y are the version numbers of php that you have installed )
If you want to create php scrips to run from the command line then great its easy and very useful.
Create yourself a batch file like this, lets call it phppath.cmd :
PATH=%PATH%;c:\wamp\bin\php\phpx.y.z
php -v
Change x.y.z to a valid folder name for a version of PHP that you have installed within WAMPServer
Save this into one of your folders that is already on your PATH, so you can run it from anywhere.
Now from a command window, cd into your source folder and run >phppath.
Then run
php your_script.php
It should work like a dream.
Here is an example that configures PHP Composer and PEAR if required and they exist
@echo off

Call this command file like this to use the default version of PHP
