I'm not aware of any .ini value to specify the ownership details for
uploaded files.
Is there a particular reason that you need this ownership setup?
One potential solution would be to add a restricted sudoers entry for
apache which would allow it to execute chown to a specific user only
under a specified directory. Something like:
apache ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/chown user-name /var/www/*
might do the trick, allowing you to use:
exec('/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chown user-name '.
escapeshellarg($pathname),$output,$retval);
Good luck!
