echo 'pre';
passthru(fortune);
echo '/pre';
Should do it. I use this for a nice little Server Status page that 
iterates through an array of unix commands, works like a charm.

Hello Chuck--

You can use a number of PHP functions, such as shell_exec and passthru, 
which will run an external app and return its result either in a 
variable or directly to the output. Some more info regarding this 
specific problem (and a script) here:

Cheers,

Marco

Oops, should be:

echo 'pre';
passthru('fortune');
echo '/pre';

shouldn't fortune be in backticks?
passthru(`fortune`);
