Have Fun!

Experimenting is the best way to unlock the power of PHP-CLI. Take your existing application code, throw together hacks in PHP-CLI and see what you come up with. Especially try integrating with other utilities available on your system; you can create strictly server-side mashups with excellent results here. If you work in a small office, consider canvassing your fellow staff members for ideas on how they'd like to simplify managing your company's web application(s); you might just build something really useful and get a raise!
