Allow PHP to execute linux commands

I am dynamically creating files with laravel, I need to give them specific permissions by using chmod and change the user and group with chown.

I tried to enter the following lines to my /etc/sudoers by using visudo.

NOTE: Always use visudo otherwise you might corrupt the file.

www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: chmod
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: chown

But I get syntax errors on these lines.

You always have to use the full path to the binary:

www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/chmod
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/chown
