Okay, I'll have to look into that. I have very limited knowledge with shell
scripts. You wouldn't have an example of one that can do what I need do
you?
Thanks,

My PHP is running as a user with limited rights. I'd like to execute a
command line as a different user. I'm trying to delete a file and the
PHP user doesn't have access to do this. I know the username and
password for the admin user that has rights to delete a file. Is there a
command I can use to make PHP run a delete command as the admin user? If
so, how can I do this?
Thanks,

There are several ways on *nix systems. I would probably write a shell
script to do the deletions and setuid of the script to root or a user with
rights to delete the files. Then just exec() the shell script.
On winbloze you can use the runas command.
