I'm running an apache2 web server on raslberry pi 3 with raspbian stretch installed.
In case of unauthorized activity, I would like to delete all files saved at the apache's /var/www/html folder.
I can use the php exec() function, but to the best of my understanding it requires sudo permission which I'm not willing to give to www-data.
linux apache-httpd php
