If that's not possible because of your bug, then can you exec out to a shell script to deal with this? Sudo has an -S parameter which allows the root password to be given to it over the same command line without prompting, so you could essentially keep the root password very separate from the PHP. Obviously, there are various security flaws you would have to try and tackle with this, but if you really tighten down your scripts this should not be a problem.
