PS: The entire README.txt including the examples are for perl4mIRC.

Indeed, but the README is simply out of date. Look at the mrc and c files for the actual syntax. It's probably the same but with /php* instead of /perl*

Note that the author of that script also wrote perl4mirc, he probably just copied the README over and forgot to update it.

Thanks for pointing to it ;-)

Do you actually need to have PERL installed in order to use that?

Because I tried this [without having PERL installed] and never once got it working...

...actually, I don't think I even managed to get the dll to load.

php4mirc requires php.
perl4mirc requires perl.

I'm not sure what the question is. I also don't maintain that library, you should ask the author.
