Have a client who wants to execute php with his UID/GID anybody have info on how to do this. Also Nick do you plan on having php execute as the user in the future.
well the reason for running the script as the user is so that the script cannot be read by others mainly. 0750 should work if 0755 does... I hope, i'll try this out. Thanks.
reason for 0750 is so that people cannot read a php file that has passwords in it for the people wondering.

yes, running PHP as a CGI script would allow the script to be run under the users uid/guid since you are using SuExec, but if you want to run mod_php (or mod_perl) scripts under a specific UID/GID your best (only) plan is to create a seperate httpd instance for this user - this provides the strictest security although it does require some manual configuration and you probably don't want to create a ton of these individual user specific httpd processes.
