Assuming that you do not have direct control to the php.ini file and since
the responsible directive (disable_functions) isn't configurable through
ini_set() or an .htaccess file, an option would be to use Perl (most hosting
accounts include Perl support without restrictions) and pass its response to
your PHP script.
The Perl script can be very simple, e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
# Print header
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
# Excecute command
exec "cmd " . param('arg');
(Don't forget to perform a chmod 775 on the Perl script to make it
executable)
Invocation with PHP is also very simple, example:
$result = file_get_contents("http://host/cgi-bin/exec.pl?arg=$arg");
