Avoid CompUSA Apple, they promised us it'd be back in a week and when we 
went there over a week later it'd not even gone out.

There's an apple store in NYC, I think. One in the King of Prussia (PA) 
mall.

I'm in mid-Joisey and this person has been highly recommended:

I run PHP CLI on a regular basis.  This is usually by use of cronjobs.
Basically, as a data mining method, PHP CLI scripts pull and process
over 400K rows from Oracle, cooks them into about 100K rows and inserts
into MySQL.  There are about 5 such scripts running on a regular basis
and run perfectly.  Each script typically reaches 200mb in size - on a
system with 256mb physical :)

The other application-style use of PHP I've had great luck with is as a
regular console application.  The PHP CLI script talks to a card reader
through a serial port (using a C extension), uses my own ncurses C
extension to interface with the user, and uploads data to a MySQL
database across the network.  The application has run - without restart
- for over 5 months on a throw-away Pentium-133 running RedHat 7.3.

These scripts, however, still require a compiled PHP binary somewhere on
the system.  The Roadsend Compiler for PHP that Shannon spoke of
eliminates this need by compiling a static binary (correct any details
Shannon).  This - among other features - is some very exciting stuff,
and I hope we can get a presentation on it soon :)
