RE: [PHP] Root Commands
I have looked into this once before, and If I remember correctly, there is a way but PHP has to be compiled as CGI and not as a module. Then you would be able to use suEXEC to force it to run as a user other than what the web server is running. Try Qmail as your mail server, this has a lot of nice little programs that allows just what your looking for..Qmailadmin. Hope this helps.

However, that opens up a whole other can of worms that I'm not really prepared to dive into yet. I searched php.net for the setuid function, but didn't find anything. Is this a php function? Do you know where any documentation on it is?

RE: [PHP] Can't run PHP cli script from Cron
I am sure you have tried this, but, Do you call the full path to php for cron. something like: 40 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/user/phpcliscript Hope this helps. At 10:10 AM 2/28/2003 -0800, you wrote: The path is #!/usr/local/bin/php -q But like I said, that can't be the problem because when I run it from the command line, it runs fine. The only problem I am having is that it won't run from cron. That is why I think it is an issue with the cron environment. All other types of scripts like bash scripts run fine from cron. I am surprised no one else has come across this problem before. Please help me!

Re: [PHP] Non systems-wide auto_prepend_file
php_value auto_prepend_file /home/www/www.virtual.com/php/prepend.php php_value auto_append_file /home/www/www.virtual.com/php/append.php OR: php_admin_value auto_prepend_file your_file_name.php php_admin_value auto_append_file your_file_name.php I think that one or the other should work in the .htaccess file and in a virtualhost. Most of the time, I see this kind of listing in a .htaccess file and not a virtualhost as most of the time, the customers for the Webhost I work for do not have access to the virtualhost entry. Hope this helps.
