exec permissions

Post by wookaka »

I have a peice of code that will use the exec() or similar command that requires root access since it checks the contents of a directory and then displays it to the screen. I'm guessing apache isn't able to do this because it doesn't have sfficient privelages.
I've been able to substitute other commands like ping which work fine but checking the directory gives no results.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
