Shell output in PHP.

Good day. Basically, I've been searching around without results. I'd like to output the result of a shell command with PHP.
Is it possible to do the above?

E: Nevermind, someone delete ASAP please.

 

you can use the shell_exec function. string shell_exec ( string $cmd )

It returns the complete output of the shell command as a string.

 

Adding few cents:

special quotes grave accent `, they are neither single nor double quotes,

$output = `dir/p`; //command

it will assign the resulting directory sorting by pagewise to varible $output.
