No, PHP generally is run in-process (mod_php) or via FastCGI
(e.g. using mod_fcgid). In both cases the $_SERVER super-global will
have all your environment variables and hence attributes such as
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'].

The Shib SP will do all necessary decoding and decryption for you
(though I only have ever encuontered encrypted responses, encrypted
assertions, and encrypted NameIDs, not encrypted attributes) -- unless
you're referring to something completely outside SAML.

Either way, passing data via AJP to a Java servlet container or not
does not alter any of this.
