Question Process running? Stop it

I have this "process keepalive" script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

PIDFILE=/tmp/php.pid
PHPSCRIPT=/home/www/mydomain.com/subdomains/www/parser.php

echo 'Checking php process from PID file'
if [ -f $PIDFILE ] ; then
PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $PID > /dev/null
then
echo "php process still running - great!!!"
else
echo "php process not running - crap!!!"
rm -f $PIDFILE
php $PHPSCRIPT & echo $! > $PIDFILE&
fi
else
echo "Hey no file - first time maybe?"
php $PHPSCRIPT & echo $! > $PIDFILE&
fi

Now, if the process is running, it echoes "php process still running - great!!!".

I would like to do this: if the process is running, stop it. How to do that?

Thank you for any advice...
