If you have to run the script directly in an already running container, you can do that with exec:

docker exec my_container /path/to/some_script.sh

or if you wanna run it through Php:

docker exec my_container php /path/to/some_script.php

That said, you typically don't want to run scripts in already running containers, but to just use the same image as some already running container. You can do that with a standard docker run:

docker run -a stdout --rm some_repo/some_image:some_tag php /path/to/some_script.php

Only way I can think of is to run your container with your script at the start; docker run -d --name my_container nginx /etc/init.d/myscript
