Assuming you mean Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool, you can run apt commands using a variety of functions:

  • exec()
  • passthru()
  • shell_exec()
  • system()
  • proc_open()

you can find the documentation for all of them here: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php

exec() is probably the one you want, since it lets you capture the return value and the output.

you could also use backticks: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.execution.php
