Create USERS and PASSWORDS in PHP

[OSR]

I want to create users and passwords in my .htpsswd file and I know I have to use the console command--
example:
htpasswd -c /usr/local/etc/httpd/users martin

can PHP run UNIX commands, otherwise i will have to use PERL

I know in the manual it says that if you put something in `backtick` marks PHP will attempt to run it as a command so if i put the above in `backticks` will PHP be able to create my user?

`htpasswd -c /usr/local/etc/httpd/users martin`

OR is there something else I can use to run commands in PHP?

Rocco is the BOY!!

SHUT YOUR LIPS...

The web server user will need to have write access to the file, if it does, that should work flawlessly.
