Apache 2.0's per-child mpm will have a solution for this eventually. 
This can not be done at the PHP level effectively.

There is no official solution for this. But you might want to read my
posting:

http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.dev&article=81135

although there are some people who believe in the greater security of
mod_php as mod_php has no write access to the home directories of the
user. 

feel free to contact me for further questions about php-cgiwrap by
private mail.

This is part of Apache &/or the web server responsiblity, doing it in
PHP, would (apart from duplicate resources), be a bit security
headache..

I believe it is a feature of Apache 2. 

If you are looking at cgi's, you could consider the php-cgiwrap that is
available on the net somewhere.

Its not really (AFAIK) ever going to be a php feature.

ooops should've changed the status before...

Those functions are very good, except they cannot be used in a hosting
context where the users are not root...

There should be a mechanism like Apache has for .cgi's (per virtual
host or location) or dynamically establishing the owner via the home
directory lookup.
