Using Exec(), Passthru() and System() as root

[Anon]

Hello,

I'm trying to execute the shell command using php but the shell command require logon as root. I have tried this script but it didn't seem to work. If you have any idea please help.
My Script:
<?php
passthru(escapeshellcmd("su"));
passthru(escapeshellcmd("password"));
passthru(escapeshellcmd("someprogram"));
?>

You can't. You would have to combine those operations into a single command, but even then su will not allow it; to switch to the user "root" you MUST be a tty. This is a security measure meant for your protection.

You need to write a shell script and make it run suid root (or make your target program do so). It's Unix manual time.

So, did you have any sample shell script to teach me. Thx!
