[PHP] Shell scripting and PHP.

Hi all! If i want to use some shell commands and use the result it displays to set a variable. How is this done? Is there a way of doing it like you can do with Perl? Anyone knows? Thanks for all the tips you can give me, or better yet, if you know of a tutorial somewere that covers this. //
