imageoptim is Mac OS X only. On there website they recommend trimage for non Mac users.
In order to call external programs from php you use the
execcommand documented here.Note that for security reasons it is important to escape arguments passed to
execwith another command likeescapeshellcmdorescapeshellargfor security reasons.Your assumption in the comment about command line options is correct, you just pass them along with the program name as the string argument to exec with proper escaping of course.
