If a new host is not possible for political or other reasons, and if your
host wasn't smart enough to turn it off in the first place...

http://php.net/exec

You'll want to use some kind of authentication to avoid people abusing
your script.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php

In fact, do that FIRST, so you have a safe directory to work with.

Honestly, though, if they were only smart enough to not give you shell,
but not smart enough to turn off exec, then that's even more reason to run
away screaming from that host.  They clearly don't understand Security at
all.

Honestly, just get a new ISP that provides SSH access - many, many of them
do and it's not something that should be a value add feature (e.g., it
shouldn't cost more to have shell access).

To write an app to do this really falls under the reinventing the wheel
category. Besides, if an ISP doesn't want you to be able to do whatever in a
shell, the PHP user likely wouldn't have permissions to run the commands
that you'd want to run anyhow.
