----

To place a php-script in a pipe you can use:
 xargs -d "\n" ./mysrcipt.php --foo 

With many lines/args the ./myscript.php will be called a couple times, but always with --foo.

e.g.:
./myscript.php:
#!/bin/php
<?php
foreach($args as $key => $value){
 echo "\n".$key.":".$value;
}
?>

cat -n1000 /path/file | xargs -d "\n" ./myscript.php --foo | less

will call the script two times with echo to stdout/less:
0:./myscript
1:--foo
2:[file-line1]
3:[file-line2]
...
800:[file-line799]
0:./myscript
1:--foo
2:[file-line800]
...
