You could make your script foo smart enough to tell if it is being run
from the command line or being interpreted by the Web server. If the path
to foo presents a challenge, you could use the full path. Command-line
parameters can be read in in different ways depending on how the script is
called.
Aside from that, you can probably just include foo in order to execute it,
or you could read it in as a file and eval() whatever part of it you want
to (maybe to strip of the #! at the beginning). I'm not sure if any of
this seems reasonable for your situation, but it seems like something
would be better/easier than executing the PHP CLI from within PHP.
Hope that helps.
