On Debian in default installation you have different configuration files for PHP in Apache, FPM, CLI, etc. But on CentOS you have only one php.ini for all of them. In case I have, I need to have different configuration file for scripts running in CLI mode (more memory, etc). I could run it like this:

php -c /etc/php-cli.ini script.php

But this a little burdensome. So I do it like this:

cat > /etc/profile.d/php-cli-ini.sh <<SCRIPT
#!/bin/bash
alias php="php -c /etc/php-cli.ini"
SCRIPT
cp /etc/php.ini /etc/php-cli.ini

Logout, login and now every user can run PHP scripts in CLI with different configuration - exactly what I need :)
