You probably will for some time to come.  Some of the commands like
adding a user can only be done as root.  Changing an existing password
with the php script should work for any user.  Adding a user requires
special privaledges.
(1)  Check to see if there is a php command that allows you to open or
run an application as another user.
(2)  Check out the swat service for samba.  They may hold a clue as to
how you can do this.  Although, I think swat is an application that
serves up web pages.
