Question to your answer has already been given. Review the thread and you will see it. But to answer your question (again): You are running as the user the Apache daemon got started. Apache handles the request and recognizes that it has to hand the request to PHP. Still you will have to check the stuff entered before executing!!! See the posts by Javier Tacon!! And to get it work, you must get the command executed as root. This may be achieved by using sudo (please lookup the man pages or internet for help on that!). Just one comment at last: Don't let Apache run as root! That would make it all worse than using sudo for your script, because Apache could execute critical code killing your system when running as root. One who is in practice could hack your system within seconds. Apache always MUST run as a non-privileged user!
