I've found a very useful technique for the system function. Say if you want to create a page of
quotes and you have /usr/games/fortune available. Instead of spending time creating a database and
populating it with thousands of quotes, you can just use:
<?php
system('/usr/games/fortune');
?>
likewise if you want to list the files in your directory, say for example, Mp3's?
<?php
system('ls /home/mp3 -l');
?>
basically
<?php
system('any_command');
?>
