Dearly use Windows native version of PHP

And here's a simple command file to register your PHP as script interpreter
for both simple execution and windows scripting host jobs.

@echo off
if "!%~dpnx1" == "!" (echo Usage: %~dp0 path_to_php-cli.exe && exit)
if not exist "%~dpnx1" (echo Invalid path to PHP interpreter && exit)
ftype PHPScript="%~dpnx1" -f "%%1" -- %%*
assoc .php=PHPScript
regsvr32 "%~dp1\php5activescript.dll"

If you still insist on using shebang, just use "#! php" without any additions.
That assuming you have PHP in your application search path. Which is not
limited to $PATH, so to speak.
