I've had something similar work with this sort of extra policy.
$ cat localhttpping.te
##############################################
module localhttpping 1.0.4;
require {
type httpd_sys_script_t;
type ping_t;
type ping_exec_t;
class process { transition };
}
allow httpd_sys_script_t ping_t:process transition;
domain_auto_trans(httpd_sys_script_t,ping_exec_t,ping_t);
$
This was from a CGI shell script, so if it's coming via PHP it might be
in httpd_t rather than httpd_sys_script_t
