You're running PHP's CGI script interface instead of the command line
script runner. The command-line arguments thus aren't passed to the
script correctly, and it's unable to identify the proper directory to
work in.

There may be a separate command-line executable on your system called
'php-cli' or similar (you might have to install a separate package on
some systems).

4.2.2 is a very old version with a lot of bugs; upgrade to 4.3.10 if you
can.
