apache2: running php as owning user

[Micha Feigin <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

Is it possible to run php as the owning user and not the server with apache2?

I tried enabling suexec (possibly not properly), and it didn't seem to
affect php.

I have php code to upload files and I want to give the upload directory
the user's permissions and not global write permission for security
reasons.
