Does that user realize that everybody else on the server can use PHP to
write web content to that directory?...

Perhaps if a defacement example were demonstrated, he'd move those files
out of his web directory, and add in some PHP scripts to read/write the
image files with validation-checking, such as using
http://php.net/getimagesize to make sure the image file *IS* an image
file.

One possibility, if you are running Apache 2.0, is to set each PHP user on
a directory by directory basis in httpd.conf

Or so I've been told.

Never done it yet.

It cannot (readily) be done in Apache 1.x
