You need to use the CLI version of PHP. The version you have installed is most likely a module to Apache2, so there will be no binary you can use like that.
The package is 'php5-cli'.

Btw, #!/usr/bin/env php is something you can use, so when migrating from one system to another you don't need to remember the path to php (although on some systems the path to env is different..).
