You can see that the same "USER" can have multiple "COMMAND"s running as "php-cgi". I would like to find out which user is running the most processes and get a count of how many processes they are running.

To count all processes per user:
ps -eo user|sort|uniq -c|sort -n
or to just have the ones running php-cgi:
ps -eo user:15,cmd|sed -n '/php-cgi/s/ .*//p'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n

Thanks - the first command works well and displays the full usernames! The second command works correctly, but it displays most of the USERS with UID and not the full usernames.

Use ps. From man ps:
-U userlist
Select by real user ID (RUID) or name.
It selects the processes whose real user name or ID is
in the userlist list. The real user ID identifies the
user who created the process, see getuid(2).
-u userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name.
This selects the processes whose effective user name or
ID is in userlist. The effective user ID describes the
user whose file access permissions are used by the
process (see geteuid(2)). Identical to U and --user.
So for example to see all processes of user asjzdiwq, you can use:
ps -u asjzdiwq ## Using RUID
ps -U asjzdiwq ## Using EUID

Use ps. From man ps:
-U userlist
Select by real user ID (RUID) or name.
It selects the processes whose real user name or ID is
in the userlist list. The real user ID identifies the
user who created the process, see getuid(2).
-u userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name.
This selects the processes whose effective user name or
ID is in userlist. The effective user ID describes the
user whose file access permissions are used by the
process (see geteuid(2)). Identical to U and --user.
So for example to see all processes of user asjzdiwq, you can use:
ps -u asjzdiwq ## Using RUID
ps -U asjzdiwq ## Using EUID
