Hi Jerry,
I think you misread the attribution on earlier posts in this thread
and mistakenly addressed your post to me instead of the orig poster,
Ken. I certainly never recommended that the scripts need execute
access, and actually suggested that they do not.
As a side note, PHP scripts can infact be executed by the shell
directly (using the "shebang" to invoke the PHP interpreter) when
calling PHP scripts from the command line, cron jobs, etc. In these
cases, execute privileges should be given to the user/group. This does
not apply to this case, however.

What?!? Why would setting a file permission to 777 deny read access?
It should do exactly the opposite, giving owner, group and all users
complete access to the file! Do you have any sort of reference or
citation for this claim?
@ Ken,
This thread was two days inactive when Jerry revived it, and I hope
you solved your problem by now. If not, double check the permissions
on the file and any directories leading to the file and post back if
your still having problems.
Cheers,
Carl.
