PHP Code:


			
<?php
$output = shell_exec('ls -la');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
?>

C needs to be compiled into a program. If you're in a linux setup you're going to need to learn how to use the GCC compiler. There's tons of resources on google. There's also IDEs out there but I usually just use Vim and GCC on the command line.
