Perhaps the only way around this one is to use a cron job!
The PHP script writes to a text file commands... Each line would look like
this
adduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] password
deluser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A PHP script, ran as root, from cron could then use the commands from that
file and exec the vpopmail/bin/v* commands with the correct commands.
