Example of PHP in standalone mode (The HTML tags are hardcoded into the PHP source):
$PHP -q APACHE$COMMON:[PHP.SCRIPTS]PHP_OPENVMS.PHP
<h1><center>Testing the OpenVMS extension</center></h1><br>
openvms_cvt_filename (OPENVMS_CVT_VMS_TO_UNIX, "PHP_ROOT:[SCRIPTS]PHP_OPENVMS.PH
P") = <b>%SYSTEM-S-NORMAL, normal successful completion</b><br>
openvms_getdvi ("DISPLAY_DEVNAM") = TNA4:<br>
openvms_getjpi ("LAST_LOGIN_I") = 15-AUG-2011 10:33:58.68<br>
openvms_getsyi ("BOOTTIME") = 16-AUG-2011 03:57:14.00<br>
openvms_time () = 16-AUG-2011 19:10:11.57<br>
openvms_uptime () =    0 15:12:59<br>
