To find out are you in CLI or not, this is much better in my opinion:
<?php
if (PHP_SAPI != "cli") {
exit;
}
?>| CARVIEW |

PHP: $argc - Manual
$argc
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
$argc — The number of arguments passed to script
Description
Contains the number of arguments passed to the current script when running from the command line.
Note: The script's filename is always passed as an argument to the script, therefore the minimum value of $argc is
1.
Note: This variable is not available when register_argc_argv is disabled.
Examples
Example #1 $argc example
<?php
var_dump($argc);
?>When executing the example with: php script.php arg1 arg2 arg3
The above example will output something similar to:
int(4)
Notes
Note:
This is also available as $_SERVER['argc'].
