help php root

Hi, i'm building a web administration tool for linux, it will be something similar to webmin. I'm writing the code in php and the scripts need to run commands like adduser and write to files like smb.conf wich requires root access.What is the best way to go about this ?
The administrator logs on to the web page and it's powerd by apache with ssl for extra security.

Hope someone can help

Run your PHP/Apache as root

Don't know how to do, but it's explained on www.php.net
