This seems to work. Now that I run
docker ps -a , I am able to see the container running. However, why does the container fail to start when I execute docker run php

honestly i'm not sure. in hub.docker.com/r/library/php, all examples require to use it as the base image, or run your own php script.
You need to tell docker run that it's an interactive process and allocate a tty for keyboard input, i.e.
$ docker run -it php
Interactive shell
php >

php needs -a to run in an interactive mode. -it is to keep a persistent session. To get an interactive directly, just run:
docker run -it --rm php php -a

Try:
docker run -it --name "Container name" -p "PHP port" -d "Docker image"
Example:
docker run -it --name php7.4.33 -p 9000:80 -d php:7.4.33 -a
