Script in Python via PHP

I am trying to call a script done in Python via browser with PHP. This script has only one command that serves to turn off my Raspberry Pi.

PHP looks like this:

<?php
 exec('sudo python /home/pi/Documents/Programa/Script.py');
?>

Python script:

import os
os.system('sudo shutdown -r now')

I ran the program in Python and PHP (via terminal) separately and the two are working properly. Only when I call in the browser that it does not execute. I know I have to change permissions on folders and files, but I'm not sure exactly what directories I have to give these permissions because I'm a beginner in the PHP and Linux world. I've already looked at some other website means to do this.

Php is not allowed to shut down the computer. It runs with an internal service user, (usually www-data), and that user is not allowed to run sudo .

When you run with your user, in the terminal, it works, because your user is allowed to use sudo , but when php is run the command, it will fail because the user running the php server does not have this permission.
