running php script as a user?

I have a page where a user authenticates, fills in some information in
an HTML form, and then when clicking on the submit button, will need to
execute a php schell script as that user to write some data to their
/home/username directory. Since apache web server runs as the user
nobody, how will I have that script execute as that user so that it can
write data to their home directory?
