Can I make php run shell scripts?

Question

What I want to do is create a small webpage with 3 links when a particular link is clicked it runs a particular ssh script through console

for example if I wanted to make "STOP" and when it's clicked it would go to a ssh script...say stop.sh and that would just have stop in it, this would stop the server.

Is their an easy way to do this?

Yes, You can run. Following methods allows your to run commands in shell

Invoking shell is not a good practice. Try to use equivalent PHP functions.

"Invoking shell is not a good practice" - well, it depends. If one is writing, say, a system administration console, then interfacing with the shell is necessary.
