How to execute command in server from website ? and get the result back displayed at the web

So i have been wandering this thing for the past few months, but I still blur how it work. Here the case : (Image compressing)

  1. I have a website
  2. User can upload their image
  3. Their image will be stored in the server
  4. The server execute some image compression application command to compress the image when the user click "Compress" button on the website. (This is what i want)
  5. The result from the conversion will put in a folder lets call it "compression_result"
  6. Then the compressed image displayed on the website

so the big question is how to execute command to server from website interface ? is it using PHP ? Node.js ?
