This makes it easy to write console applications that execute pretty much on any platform.

Note

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Application_Programming_Interface for more elaborate descriptions of general CLI and SAPI abbreviations.

PHP CLI is not the only SAPI interface supported by PHP. Using the php_sapi_name() function, we can get a name of the current interface that PHP is using. Other possible interfaces include aolserver, apache, apache2handler, cgi, cgi-fcgi, cli, cli-server, continuity, embed, fpm-fcgi, and others...
