Execute root commands via PHP

It is generally not recommended to execute root commands via PHP, as it can pose a security risk to the system. Instead, it is better to use a more secure method, such as using the exec() or system() functions to run a command with the permissions of the user running the PHP script, or using a library or tool specifically designed for the task. Additionally, you should be careful when passing user input to these functions, as it can be used to execute arbitrary commands.

However, if you must execute root commands via PHP, you can use the exec() or system() function with the "sudo" command. For example:

exec('sudo command');

It is important to note that this method require that the user running the PHP script have permission to execute the command as the root user.

You must also be careful when passing user input to these functions, as it can be used to execute arbitrary commands, this could lead to a command injection attack.
