How to make a php script run a specific command

I have a command line that I run from a specific directory to resize images, but I now need it to run from a php script so I can put it into a cron job to automate. The command is mogrify -resize 800x800\> *.jpg. I'm only looking for help to set up the php script, as I'm novice to doing this. Thanks in advance.

Cron has nothing to do with php. Have you tried putting

cd "$whatever_directory" && mogrify -resize 800x800\> *.jpg

in cron?

That said, you can get php to execute shell commands with exec and shell_exec, but I would urge you to consider if that's what you want.
