Start by using shell_exec() and any of the other Program execution Functions. Have a good read through the comments also.

Using a bit of AJAX could emulate a basic terminal if you don't want to reload the page each time.

Should also be careful what commands can be sent since letting anyone run these commands is a big security risk.
