Anything wrong with moving CLI validation/logic server-side?

How can I get PHP to use the same APC cache when invoked on the CLI and the web?
I'm using APC to cache user variables (with the apc_store/apc_fetch commands). I've also enabled APC for the CLI with the option "apc.enable_cli = 1". However, the CLI version of PHP seems to access a different APC cache from the version used by Apache. Is it possible to configure APC to use the same cache for both CLI and web invocati...

Command line instruction parsing
I've been all over google and haven't been able to find a regex that would parse (correctly) CLI arguments. Does anyone have in their code library such a thing?

How would I 'attach' a console/terminal-view to an applications output so I can see what it may be saying? How would I detach from an applications output without killing the application?
