You need to make the file executable.

Then you can run it from the command line with "php filename.php"

I've also send a request to the mods to get this moved to programming talk.

php runs through the apache webserver, so double clicking on the file won't exectue it unless you have the command line php package installed and the file is executable. otherwise, you can use firefox to view your localhost webserver. just point your browser to http://localhost or http://YOUR.IP.ADDRESS and run your file through the browser.

If you run php file.php file doesn't (And shouldn't have execute) permissions. it isn't the file.php that is executed but rather the php binary file that reads the file.php. Similar with .sh files even if they aren't executable you can still run sh file.sh and it will execute file.sh.
