Concerning Unix permissions of PHP files: as the earlier commentator noted, they need to be readable by the Unix user or group that owns the webserver process. The command "chmod 644 .php" will do this.

But the mode "644" makes the file readable for *any user* on the Unix system. Many PHP programs (if not most) contain sensitive database connection information, such as username and password. As a security precaution, if the PHP script I write performs a database connection with embedded user and password info, then I change the mode to readonly for owner, and make the owner the same as the webserver process owner. If my webserver runs as user "nobody", then:

chown nobody file.php
chmod 600 file.php
