Sure. Compile and install the CGI version of PHP. Just use the same
configure line you used to build the Apache module, but remove any
--with-apxs or --with-apache switches and you will get a standalone 'php'
binary. You can copy this binary to /usr/local/bin and then at the top of
a script file you can put:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
And then just write your PHP code below this line. Then make the file
executable and you have yourself a standalone PHP script that you can run
from cron.
