Execute file from webpage

Hi,
I'm trying to find out how I can execute a file by clicking on a button on my website.

I have a simple PHP test site running on my webserver. Now I would like to create a button on it that, when you press it, executes a file on the server itself. (Like a script, or for example a Half-Life server)

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Take a look at php exec:

<?php

exec("command");

>

to view output of command:

exec("command 2>&1",$output);
while(list(,$val)=each($output)) :
print("$val<br>");
endwhile;
