Call PHP script from bash from different machine

Question

I need to call a PHP script on machine1 from a .sh script on machine2. How can I do this?
Basically I need to pass a parameter to the respective PHP script and make it run using it.

Thanks!

You can use ssh:

ssh user@otherhost /path/to/php-script

if you want to do this in a script, you have to enable public key authentiction.

And how do I pass a parameter to it? (e.g. phpfile.php?param=1234)

You pass arguments with ssh user@otherhost /path/to/php-script argument1 argument2 foo bar. Ensure that the file begins with a sheband (#!/usr/bin/php). The context is the command line, so you don't access arguments via $_GET or $_POST but via $argv (just like in C). Have a look at php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

Setup Apache and use curl, or use SSH as the other answer suggested. The security aspects of setting up Apache seems simpler at first, but this may not be true.
