Or just 'php' (not 'phpsh', which is an interactive shell for PHP).

e.g.:

  $ php somescript.php


or even just put a shebang in at the top of the PHP file, and set it exec,
e.g.:

  $ cat > junk.php
  #!/usr/bin/php
  <?php
  echo "Hello world\n";
  ?>
  [Ctrl+D]
  $ chmod 700 junk.php
  $ ./junk.php
  Hello world
  $
