The same definition P:=mU works perfectly for a photon as well, if you use m
as the notation for the rest (invariant) mass of an object (which you obviously
do). For a photon, |U| = 1 (just as for any massive particle!) and since its
invariant mass is zero, m = 0, the magnitude of its 4-momentum is always zero.
