Ok, here's what I want to do but am really lost on how to do it. I want to be able to run a PHP script to run commands on the webserver machine as a specific user. For example I've got a bash script in /home/user/file, I think it *might* be possible with the exec(); and sudo but I'm really inexperianced with this. Thanks

hi w1nn3r,

Have you looked into the passthru() function?

void passthru ( string command [, int return_var])
