[Slightly OT] Is there a way?

[e n | c k m a]

Is there a way for me to download a PHP interpreter for Linux that I can
paste into /usr/bin/ since my installation used the shared object module
version?

I want to run PHP 'shell scripts' and I don't have a PHP interpreter!

What's the best way to do this? I assume it would need to use the already
installed php.ini file also, wouldn't it... Any help?

Thanks heaps in advance,
Nicko.

Yes, but most distributions already have a php cgi/cli package. Have you
looked for that? eg Debian:

$ dpkg -l 'php4*cgi*'

Search your distribution packages or ask a (trusted) person to do a
(static) compile for you.

It doesn't have to, it's up to you.
