[Solved][Help] Run PHP function as root?

[ayu]

I fucked up the server totally while trying to do this (will write about it later...because it was unfucking believable)

Anyway, I'm trying to make a PHP page where i can edit iptables, to make it easier and faster to forward ports on the server. The problem is that I need to be able to run the PHP functions as root either by not having to type in the password or that there is some kind of way that I can sudo the command and send the password as an argument at the same time...

Anyone familiar with this?

hm....have a look at this one:

but I highly recommend to use this (and any other php script that has root privileges) only locally...never remotely (at least not without password protection)...

yay, at least this one had a good guide on how to NOT fuck the sudoers file up

Works like a charm, using password protection on the web root and all of the subdirectories, and the server is only reachable from my LAN =)

Thanks ^^
