You can simply call any external program from PHP by using the exec
function:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

If you're on a unix type system such a OSX or Linux, you do need to make
sure that you have all the permissions right. Since the script will be
triggered in the scope of the web-server you need to make sure that that
scope can execute your calls.

On the other hand, I'm wondering why you're generating .as files. Are you
sure you can't solve your particular problem by loading a dataset instead?

Cheers,
Luke
