(I'm assuming the problem is that you can't run 'insmod' directly from the 
PHP server, as that would require the latter to have root permissions - which 
would not be a very good idea...)

How about executing 'modprobe rtl_app_modules' or something like that? You'd 
have to edit the modules.conf for modprobe to define which actual modules 
'rtl_app_modules' should represent. Other possibilities might be running a 
shell script with su root, or start it via sudo.

The advantages of these methods is that you have a lot more control than if 
you'd trust PHP with permission to use insmod directly.
