Is there a way to save a PHP command in Terminal so it'll auto-load?

I have a PHP script that I use via Terminal to download and format a large amount of data as an Excel file.
Currently, I open Terminal, enter "PHP ", drag my .php file into the window and hit ENTER. Is there a way to set it up so that all I have to do is click on one item and it'll auto load the "PHP " and file location?
Thanks!

Figured it out. Saved the command in the Terminal prefs and set it to run upon launch.

There's another way to do this.
1. Edit the .php file (let's call it my.php), and add #!/usr/bin/php as the first line
2. Rename my.php to my.command (in terminal: mv my.php my.command)
Double-clicking on the my.command file will now open a shell window and run your php script.
