Hi Luke, I'm trying to find out how to run a command on the server as root. Does anybody know how to do this? How about using a combination of exec() and sudo (assuming you're in the sudoers file, that is)?

As your server process run as nobody or apache, you need a wrapper setuid root program that will execute the command you want, but you must be very carefull so it is not exploitable.
