Synopsis: userid used on running php3 files within Apache module State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Thu Jan 15 19:27:41 PST 1998 State-Changed-Why: This is more of an issue with php, not Apache. The normal way of running things on Unix web servers (eg. CGIs) is to have them run as the user the server runs as. For CGIs, the suexec program can work around it. PHP is probably different.
There is no magical way to be able to switch uids without giving away root if someone compromises the server.
