what do you mean by connecting PHP with shell scripts?

in PHP you can use shell scripts/single commands by using
exec
passthru
system

see http://php.net for more details on these commands.

PHP Code:
exec("uname -a", $res, $err); 
$res holds the outbut of the shell command. $err contains the error code (normaly 0 if everything works ok).

Having a shell script you can use PHP like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

MY_LOCAL_DATE=`php -r 'echo "today is ".date("l d.m.Y", time());'`
echo $MY_LOCAL_DATE

In this case you have to echo the output of your PHP stuff, to receive the
result and save it to a variable.

The following code demonstrates how to access shell variables within PHP
Code:
#!/bin/sh

export MY_PWD=`pwd`
MY_OUTPUT=`php -r 'echo "we are in directory ".$_ENV["MY_PWD"];'`
echo $MY_OUTPUT

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
