Start with reading manual.

Or do the following!!!

Windows:

Make sure the /folder.to/php.exe in your path so php.exe can be called
from any folder on your system....

For windows normally: c:\php\
For Unix/Linux /usr/local/bin (at least on my MDK system)

Then do this in console:
$ php filename.php

If you need more command-line options (for Unix/Linux) do:

$ php --help

Or in UNIX/Linux create your script with shbang:
#!/path/to/php -q
<?php
do_your_stuff() ;
?>
../filename[.php]
Make sure you chmod +x to your script.
