How can PHP be used to retrieve and process data from a remote server using SSH?

To retrieve and process data from a remote server using SSH in PHP, you can use the SSH2 extension. This extension allows you to establish an SSH connection to the remote server, execute commands, and retrieve the output. You can then process the data as needed within your PHP script. 

<?php
$connection = ssh2_connect('remote-server.com', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'username', 'password');

$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'command-to-retrieve-data');
stream_set_blocking($stream, true);
$data = stream_get_contents($stream);

echo $data;

ssh2_exec($connection, 'exit');
unset($connection);
?>
