Okay, I am working on putting to gether a server administration program
thats written in PHP and runs in Apache. It needs to reload the
configuration after adding, removing, or modifying the virtual web sites
Apache is serving.

The only simple way I can think of is to do a reload every 10 minutes or
every hour, as a cron job, or so.

No that requires a password to be entered.
