Actually, that was my bad, you did not really post a followup question, removed my comment (and will remove this tomorrow so it's clean here, hehe).
If you only need to run artisan commands (e.g. migrating the database) you can easily do that from your controller:
Route::get('/foo', function () {
$exitCode = Artisan::call('email:send', [
'user' => 1, '--queue' => 'default'
]);
//
});
Source: Laravel Docs
There are some packages available that give you a UI for calling Artisan commands, just search for "laravel artisan web".
If you need to execute other commands you should give us more information about what you're trying to do.

Not 100% sure what you mean with "command prompt" but you can execute commands directly from php with the exec function. This is often not a recommended approach though and I would suspect that it is possible that if you need to run exec there is a design issue in the application.
I would recommend that you consider other approaches to the problem and only use exec in very special conditions.
