with an utterly stock Centos, this code fragment 'just works', 
including database access:

[herrold at centos-4 gnuplot]$ grep -v ^$ plots.php | grep -v ^#$   \
 	| head -20
#!/usr/bin/php -qc/etc
<?php
$screen = 1 ;
$screen = 0 ;
$ARGC = $_SERVER["argc"];
$ARGV = array();
$ARGV = $_SERVER["argv"];
//
include("/home/herrold/shim/database_trender_keying.php");
include("/home/herrold/shim/database_trender_open.php");
include("/home/herrold/shim/database_beancounter_keying.php");
include("/home/herrold/shim/database_beancounter_open.php");
//
$demog_value = array();
//
$nonce = $ARGC ;
$counter = 0 ;
// print "$ARGC: \n";
while ( $nonce > 1 ) {
   $nonce -= 1 ;
   $counter += 1 ;
  ...
