hey i too know that its bit funny to give like that..so can u suggest me what should be given in the command prompt of linux

First you need to see if PHP was installed with the CLI enabled. You can try entering php -v at a command prompt and see if it says "(cli)" after the PHP version number. If so then everything's set, and all you need to do is make your command:

php -f /path/to/filename.php
