I have added an -m option to specify midi file output to the script.
After this little modification of Sven Axelson's php script, I am now able 
to do:

lilybin infile.ly
---> process infile.ly without downloading from Lilybin server, returns an ID 
for download

lilybin -d ID.pdf
lilybin -d ID.midi
---> download results from Lilybin server

lilybin -a infile.ly outfile.pdf
---> upload infile.ly and save as outfile.pdf

lilybin -a -m infile.ly outfile.mid
---> upload infile.ly and save as outfile.mid

My main goal was to be able to find a way to work with lilypond files on 
my Android tablet: I have installed termux ( https://termux.com/ ) which 
allows me to install and run python, php, vim (or emacs) and other 
unixtools in a terminal. I have also pip-installed python-ly and have 
copied the lilypond syntax highlighting files for vim to my termux 
installation. Termux also has commands to call a PDF viewer or music 
player from my Android device to view and hear my lilypond scores. All 
this together is enough for me to work on lilypond scores. It's not as 
convenient as Frescobaldi on my Linux and Windows computers, but good 
enough for my purpose :-)

Thank you all, especially Sven.
