Have PHP Send Password to SSH

[SuperNull]

ive tried a few ways of trying to send a password to ssh so it would auto login. im not looking for a reply saying setup public/private keys for it because i cant. the ssh account is basicly for log file viewing (remotely) it has no interactive-ness to it to do anything besides viewing a log.

If there's no interactive-ness going on, then why not just use FTP to grab the log?

Unless you're using PHP CLI, then this would be really hard, if not impossible. It has to be somewhat interactive to know when to put in the password.

Another option would be to create maybe a shell script to login and do this, then execute the shell script from PHP.

First, yes it is a console app not web. (currently i do more console stuff with php then web so i forget to mention it) Also the only access i have to the log is via ssh output. They have changed the shell from /bin/bash to .. like tail -f /var/log/log file here
so we can see stuff as it comes in. The way i have it setup is .. i have ssh output stdout to a local file then i parse the local log on demand.
