Hello

I want to build a php based site that (automate) some commands on my Ubuntu Server

first thing I did was going to the file (sudoers) and add the user www-data so I can execute php commands with root privileges!

# running the web apps with root power!!!
www-data    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

then my PHP code was

<?php
   $command = "cat /etc/passwd | cut -d\":\" -f1";
   echo 'running the command: <b>'.$command."</b><br />";
   echo exec($command);
?>

it returns only one user (the last user) !!! how to make it return all users?

thank you
