You can just use the 'backtick' character (`) around your shell string like:

<?php
    $output = `command_goes_here`;
    echo $output;
?>

Keep in mind this will only work if the shell_exec() function would work on that server, which could also be used in a similar way.

u can try by this if u want to run shell script command in php file

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

u can also try other way by create .sh file for shell script and run that .sh file by php function

$output = shell_exec('./deploy.sh');
echo "<pre>".$output."</pre>";
