Add support to use different commands of the php-cli

[alexander-schranz]

I'm looking for a way to use frankenphp php-cli directly as a replacement for the local PHP.

Typical commands I use:

php -m # list extensions
php --version # list version
php -r 'echo 1;' # run inline code

# or use it to install composer (currently workaround it create install script)
curl --show-error --silent https://getcomposer.org/installer | ./frankenphp php-cli -- --1

The command currently expect only a file:

Warning: Unknown: Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line

Looks at the current state the frankenphp php-cli only supports run a .php script. Would be nice to have also the other options available if possible. I understand that not all can be supported but maybe this most common commands are possible?

Actually, we should be able to support most commands by copying more code from the CLI SAPI... It's on my todo list, but PR welcome is someone is quicker!

If we want to implement all. Maybe php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -t public config/router.php could just point to start frankenphp / caddy implementation.

Indeed, it can just forward to frankenphp php-server, but -S and other dev-only or weird options are not top priority.

Frankenphp is great as a single static binary so I would also like to use it for both cli and web (locally and in GitHub actions) but currently it's not possible because of composer scripts.

I also couldn't get composer to use php from frankenphp in actions.
