run program or command using php

i want to run a unix/linux program with a php script.
i have two textbox named text1 and text2
and one button named execute.

execute( "cp text1 text2")

"cp" is unix command for copy
"text1" is directory source file to copy
"text2" is destination directory

Create a form. Check this link to how form works if you dont know http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp.

On receiving submitted data, use exec() to run the commands

<?
$text1 = escapeshellcmd($_POST["text1"]);
$text2 = escapeshellcmd($_POST["text2"]);
exec("cp $text1 $text2")
?>

Use escapeshellcmd() to avoid any problems.
