I'd make a script that went through the httpd.conf file with DOM and
pulled out all the virtual hosts. Either that or looked at the home
directory listings for each site. If this is what you were getting at
(seeing as you mentioned root access and what-not), then read the next
paragraph. If not, you can skip the next paragraph.

This is quite a dangerous thing to do. Giving PHP root access to your
server is like giving a homeless guy your credit card. Anyone can
access the resources that PHP uses if they try hard enough. You might
as well just hand every hacker on the web a little Post-It note with
your root password on it.

> Is such a thing possible in PHP.. or does any such script exists?

Definitely. If you take the right approach! I'd use a database. You
could certainly find a class or script that could accomplish the
database lookup that would get what you wanted.

I'd start by reading the manual sections on mySQL database queries.

Hope this helps!
