How to run from PHP a bash script under root user

Question

How to run from PHP a bash script under root user (with all permissions) and not nobody user - php default user?

thats my output after sudo visudo:

Defaults        env_keep += "LINES COLUMNS"
Defaults        env_keep += "LSCOLORS"
Defaults        env_keep += "SSH_AUTH_SOCK"
Defaults        env_keep += "TZ"
Defaults        env_keep += "DISPLAY XAUTHORIZATION XAUTHORITY"
Defaults        env_keep += "EDITOR VISUAL"
Defaults        env_keep += "HOME MAIL"

#User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
%admin  ALL=(ALL) ALL


# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Same thing without a password
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now

You can use sudo:

exec("sudo /your/script");

You should allow executing your script without password prompt. Run sudo visudo in console and add the following string to the end:

nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: /your/script

You must set up file mode properly to ensure that no one can modify this script and put dangerous contents into it (in root console):

chown root:root /your/script
chmod 755 /your/script
