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
