I honestly have no experience with this, but I do a lot of PHP coding.

You can call system commands from your .php script using the exec() 
function.

Since you have already figured it out from your shell, you simply

exec(irsend send_once WL-V1 down);

for example.

As for the video, how is that hooked up?  To a TV tuner card?
