You know you are crazy as hell running php as root don't you.

I guess you use your root account all the time.

It kinda defeats its purpose.

You should add a user account for yourself and use that in every day work.  
Whenever you need to install something they willl either ask for the root 
password or you go su -c 'make install'

Your php should run as a normal user as well.  

Don't be surprised if tomorrow you find your harddisk wiped out by an 
intruder.  You're asking for it.

Try running 'last' and see if your system hasn't been compromised already
