UPDATE   After misunderstanding  I finally got what you are trying to do  You should check your server configuration files  are you using apache2 or some other server software   Look for lines that start with LoadModule php    There probably are configuration files directories named mods or something like that  start from there   You could also check output from php -r  phpinfo       grep php and compare lines to phpinfo    from web server   To run php interactively    so you can paste write code in the console   php -a   To make it parse file and output to console   php -f file php   Parse file and output to another file   php -f file php  gt  results html   Do you need something else   To run only small part  one line or like  you can use   php -r   x    Hello World   echo   x n      If you are running linux then do man php at console   if you need want to run php through fpm  use cli fcgi  SCRIPT NAME  file php  SCRIP FILENAME  file php  REQUEST METHOD  GET  cgi-fcgi -bind -connect   var run php-fpm php-fpm sock    where  var run php-fpm php-fpm sock is your php-fpm socket file

I was looking for a resolution to this issue in Windows  and it seems to be that if you don t have the environments vars ok  you need to put the complete directory  For eg  with a file in the same directory than PHP   F  myfolder php php exe -f F  myfolder php script php

On SuSE  there are two different configuration files for PHP  one for Apache  and one for CLI  command line interface    In the  etc php5  directory  you will find an  apache2  directory and a  cli  directory   Each has a  php ini  file   The files are for the same purpose  php configuration   but apply to the two different ways of running PHP   These files  among other things  load the modules PHP uses   If your OS is similar  then these two files are probably not the same   Your Apache php ini is probably loading the gearman module  while the cli php ini isn t   When the module was installed  auto or manual   it probably only updated the Apache php ini file   You could simply copy the Apache php ini file over into the cli directory to make the CLI environment exactly like the Apache environment   Or  you could find the line that loads the gearman module in the Apache file and copy paste just it to the CLI file
