Hello,

Not clear why you'd want to "attach" the php-cli to Node.js -- this is a weird question. But, if for some reason you really want to run php scripts from within node (maybe you've got some utility you wrote in PHP that you'd like to call from Node? I guess?) it's very easy to do.

The Node.js child process module has a spawn() routine. This can be used to run other things in the PASE environment very easily and pipe the output back to your program (if desired).

For example:

"use strict";
const spawn=require('child_process').spawn;
let php = spawn('/usr/local/zendsvr6/bin/php-cli', ['test.php']);
php.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);


so, I can call any PASE program with spawn() like this. (the second argument is an array of parameters to pass to the program. In this case, the program is php-cli, and the parameter is the PHP script to run)

php.stdout.pipe(process.stdout) connects the output of the PHP script with the output of my Node.js script so that it will simply print on the display.

More detail on child processes in Node.js can be found here:
http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html

So, I don't understand WHY you want to do this, but I know HOW to do it... it's really easy.

is this a thing?
I have only about 1 hour of reading about node.js, and see that
it runs in it's own web server, so how would you "attach" the php-cli
to it?
