You can execute an external program using PHP with the exec() function.
Example usage:
<?php
exec ("/home/user/file_to_execute");
?>
You could have problems with permissions depending if PHP is executing as the user or the webserver, i.e suPHP.
Hope this helps.

Executing binary files via web such as PHP has security concern implications. Its generally not a best practice to execute binary (i.e. compiled C++ applications) via a web interface because the binary file usually doesn't have the same constraints as native PHP.
Usually most web hosts disable the exec() function anyways because of this.
