You can use PHP as a shell scripting language, but I don't know sure if you can run a program. I think you can using exec() function 🙂).
You can read more about using PHP as a shell scripting language here:

Good luck.

You can run scripts from PHP. I tried it a while back with PHP 3, using the exec(). It ran a bash script to commence dialing into my ISP... Works fine.

Good luck
