Run php script in console?

[powderfinger]

I have used several dists, but Debian is the first where i can't run php scripts in console like:
php my_script.php

I use cakephp when i develop DB centric projects in php, and in cake one of the great things is bake, a nice little script for genereating all the basic code in your project.

Since i turned ti Debian i can't bake anymore!!!!

pls help me out here!

If there is no easy way of getting php to run in console i have to turn back to good old Slackware

Code: Select all

$ apt-get install php5-cli

php5-cli : command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language
This package provides the /usr/bin/php5 command interpreter, useful for
testing PHP scripts from a shell, or perhaps even performing general
shell scripting tasks
