I need help with Linux

DestroyeRCo

How can I run shell commands from a website? I need to run certain commands when pressing a button or filling a form.
I know is something basic.. but I don't know anything about linux but that is free.

PHP = exec() or system()

You can also use backticks around your command. All three of these methods will also work in Perl too, though exec() in Perl never returns (your script will stop executing once you call exec() ).

Ifyou need it in your code, use either exec() of system(), or eval(). If you're on shared, your host might have blocked those commands. What you are trying to do might also be available in native PHP or with a module.

If you need a real terminal: http://codecanyon.net/item/terminal/107684

You can enable the exec() function in your php.ini
