I don't have much experience in it myself but I've seen it working .. Where
you should be looking is not really PHP but more the Apache "suexec"
wrapper/module. You can then specify a user and group in your VirtualHost
section.

Subject: [PHP] Changing users in php script
I know php runs under the same user/group as the webserver for web based
applications, but is there a way to change to another user? All the
recent talk about exec got me thinking that I could set something up to
automatically create user mailboxes under qmail + vmailmgr. I normall
do this via the command line by running 'vadduser' while I'm su'ed to
the owner of the virtual host. So basically, to do this via php, I
would need to su to the owner of the vhost inside of the script, run the
command, and exit out of the su. Can this be done?
