Is there a way in PHP that I can run a script locally on a machine from a remote location?

Although it is extremely dangerous to do so, there are ways.
If you want to execute a command, and then output it as it would look 
in a 
terminal, with newlines and all, do this:
$output = shell_exec($command);
$output = str_replace("\xa","",$output);
echo($output);
This will make it substitute the newlines for  tags, so you get a
normal output.
