How can I kill all the PHP processes belonging to a specific user?

| Hello,
How can I kill all the PHP processes belonging to a specific user?
1) When I use: killall -9 php it kills all PHP processes, how can I kill the PHP processes belonging to the user "john" only?
2) How can I kill all the processes belonging to the user "john" whether it is PHP or anything else?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

| Try adding -u username
" -u, --user
Kill only processes the specified user owns. Command names are
optional.

| Perhaps something is restarting it. Why is php running under a user anyways?
