it's impossible to make any practical use of b.php without creating a work that is derived from both a.php and b.php

Similarly it is impossible to make practical use of a shared library without creating an executable that calls into it. But in neither case does this by itself create a derived work. I know that the FSF implies otherwise in justifying the existence of the LGPL, but that doesn't make them correct.
