This has not been implemented, and it probably never will because it is a
huge overkill for what you are trying to do!

The easiest solution for the problem is to create a new group, add yourself
and the webserver process to that group, change group ownership for the
complete website and enable the safe_mode_gid check in PHP.

Another possibility would be to try suPHP or phpsuexec which allow execution
of PHP as different users.
