hi, A few years ago I did it something similar. There are some things to take care: take care that your user won't run this script at the same timeas it take some time to finished, if you are too many user importing data, you can have some writing issue.
For my own purpose, I wrote a plugin to import data (shapefile) to a postgis database and run this script as it is a php script you don't need to use the exec function, which, IMHO, could be dangerous (as I read it on the net, I may be wrong). If you are interesting by this plugin (not to use, just to improve it or just to drop an eye how I did it), I can send it to you. This script is quiet old, far to be perfect ;) if you improve it, you can improve it :) Best regards, Y.
