I use UserWebsites = yes but there the php scripts are executed by user www-data. CGI programs are executed by the actual user (WrapUserCGI = yes). How can I configure Hiawatha the same way for php?

If you use PHP via FastCGI, that can't be done. PHP is in that case already running, which makes switching user id impossible. Use PHP via normal CGI (CGIhandler optie). The disadvantage is that PHP is much slower than FastCGI.

Ok, that makes sense. I will disable FastCGI, I am willing to pay that price. I use different users to separate services. Performance is not required. So is disabling FastCGI enough then?

Disabling FastCGI and of course enabling PHP as normal CGI.
