I don't think you can.
This is a problem of running php as an apache module.

Halfabee is right.

PHP is spawned or forked by the web service - so the UID of the PHP process would typically be:

in UN*X:

nobody, httpd, apache, wheel

in Win32

IUSR_MACHINENAME

where MACHINENAME is your system's hostname.

This is not a bug but a security feature. You can use certain "sudo/chown" commands to overcome this but this will only break a bigger hole in an already open system (web server).

Also make sure your uploaded files are placed in a "safe" directory. You don't want users posting their own PHP/CGI codes up there and then run them.
