This is already being explained in your other thread here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...14#post1937314. You shouldn't be giving www-data entire root privileges just for useradd, you simply edit the sudoers file as detailed, providing you're okay with the idea of accepting input from users and passing this a string to execute commands directly on your Linux box.
