Are there any specific commands or tools to use PHP in a command line interface (CLI)?

To use PHP in a command line interface (CLI), you can use the PHP executable along with specific commands and tools. One common tool is the "php" command followed by the script file you want to run. You can also use the built-in $argc and $argv variables to access command line arguments within your PHP script. 

<?php
// Example PHP script to use in CLI
if ($argc > 1) {
    echo "Hello, " . $argv[1] . "!";
} else {
    echo "Hello, World!";
}
```

Save the above code in a file (e.g., hello.php) and run it in the command line interface using the following command:
```
php hello.php YourName
