php5.6-cli running php from console?

Question

PHP

Hello,
Debian 9 Server
PHP - 5.6
Need to run php script from console
php /var/www/somescript.php - just throws script contents into console
Googled about php-cli, it's already installed, judging by apt-get install php5.6 -cli
php5.6-cli /var/www/somescript.php
or
php5-cli /var/www/somescript.php
Not commands
So how can you run a script from the console?

Answer 1

In the script, you use short_open_tag<? instead of the full tags of a healthy person<?php
