Hey nelsong,
it's always differcult to say, this is what you need and add this xx
lines to your code.
For the exec manual I would say look here : http://www.php.net/function.exec
When it comes to data handling I am not sure how your current code looks
like and how
you need to have it intergrated is it a upload file system, or a
automated system, we don't know.
I have done simular things but not for the shp2pgsql, I just know it can
be done
and I think it's your best and quickest route to a solution.
I not a postgis guru but mearly using functions (mainly using map server).
