you might be better off triggering a back-end script to do that..... the script would have to have root privilegf es. I'm not sure if you can "become root" within PHP, but if you trigger a shell script or perl script or something, it can be set SUID to root or something.... please note that my suggestions are merely technical.... there are no implications of security using this method. :)
