If it's *ONLY* php and CGI you want to run as the user, try using
the cgi-version of php. I'm not sure that will work - but you could take
a look

As the php-scripts will be parsed by the php-program (which is a regular
CGI for apache). And here's the problem: I'm not sure
if the cgi will
run as the owner of the cgi-file, or as the owner of the php file.
Maybe the php version can be configured to switch to the owner of the file
it's executing. I think it supports that, but am not sure...
