You can use backticks in php to run bash commands, if that's what you mean?

Code:
<?php
`touch filename`

The PHP function exec will run it, the command will be subject to the user PHP is running as.

If the command you run will depend in any way on user input, don't forget to run it through escapeshellcmd() or each argument individually through escapeshellarg().
