I am wondering if anyone can help me get my CLI running, or how exactly I would do that, via bash, or otherwise?

I think it what I ran the first time. Although I've done the builds myself more recently.

No Feyd, I know I mislabled the post. I just did that to attract someone like you to an easy answer.
Which my answer will still invariably be easy, but not so much so.
i have php5 in my etc
I just want to know how to use the Command line aspect of PHP, so I can write scripts in the terminal, which i know i still could with cat > php.php or whatever I might choose to name it, but I thought that PHP could be compilled on the spot in the terminal. Am I correct on this?

Have you
enabled CLI as per instructions on php.net?
Is /etc/php5 in your PATH? (adjust /etc/php5 as necessary)
have you run:
(change php to name of php executable)
have you checked all the php.ini directives?
if yes to all the above, then simply:
where #: represents your command prompt (i.e. don't type it..)

the php executable is in /etc ? I find that hard to believe.
Aynway, try php -v in the (bash) command line. What does it print?
