如何让 PHP 以 root 身份执行 Python3 脚本？

Question

I want PHP to execute a Python3 script. I have done

$command = escapeshellcmd('pathtofile.py');
$output = shell_exec($command);
echo $output;

But whenever the script is run, I get an error :Permission Denied .

I'm running a web server (Apache2 on Ubuntu 18.04) and the VPS has only one user- root.

I have also done chmod +x path.py and added the shebang line in the scipt.

Basically, the script is run when a user successfully registers.

You must to add apache user in sudoers file like: www-data ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL then you can execute script like this: 'sudo pathtofile.py'

Or you can use compiled wrapper. Write C program, that executes script, than compile it. Than set sticky bit: chown root:root wrapper chmod a+rs wrapper

Than include www-data in the root group. Now can execute wrapper from your php script, and wrapper will execute python script as root.
