[thelist] PHP - Server Assistance - Limiting Users on Server

[Brian W. Reaves]

I am performing this search on behave of our IT department so my ability 
to answer questions will be limited.

Question:
Is there a way to limit which users are allowed to run PHP scripts on a 
sever while allowing others?

Details:
This server does not currently have PHP installed on it.
This server runs the college's web site.
This server also holds all user accounts (Faculty, Students & Staff).
Each user has their own web site and is allowed to make edits within 
their knowledge.
We want to add a few PHP scripts to the new web site but we do not want 
all user accounts to be allowed to run pages with PHP scripts due to 
security issues & server loads.

Links to information on how to accomplish this please...

TIA,
Brian
