[PHP] Superuser for PHP Script

2002-03-13 Thread Johannes Tyra [BrainData]

Hi,

I need superuser rights for a PHP Script, called by the Apache Webserver.

Is it possible to do this with ? exec (su)?? ? What is with the root
password??
Is there an other better way to do this?

How can I print the current user/group under php is running?

Thanx,

If you want to use sudo you can do it with the fowling function:

function loginsu(){
$fhandle = @popen($sudo_path -u root clear, w);
$fputs( $fhanlde, $supassword);
@pclose($fhandle);
}

Dont forget to edit /etc/sudoers adding  the folowing line
apache ALL=PASSWD:ALL

Do it at your own risk
