does PAM lib PHP3 interface exist ?

Hi, I'm looking for php3 equivalent of perl's Authen::PAM module. see: ( http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/N/NI/NIKIP/Authen-PAM-0.08.tar.gz ) or at author's page ( http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~pelov/pam/ ) Is there anything like this for PHP ? Is anybody working on this ? The reason I'm asking is that I would like to make a script which allows users change their system password from WEB page. And PAM is the only *right* way to do this. Which brings out another question: Is there a way with php to gain root privileges (so that the passwords can be changed). PHP equivalent of suidperl ?
