Re: changing unix password in php?

I tried to use passthru(su -c root chmod 777 filename) hoping that the return would be the prompt for a password, and tried it without the -c with no luck either. Do you know how to get the command (in this thread the command passwd) to be executed when the web server is running as user apache or nobody etc?
