First of all, it pays to remember that MacOS X, when it comes to the
inner workings of the file system, is nothing but a BSD Unix. The "X"
conveniently has two meanings; it's the 10th major release of MacOS,
which also happens to be an X-Window GUI...

In Unix (and, hence, in MacOS X), opening a directory and reading its
contents are operations that require execute privileges. Reading a
file is an operation that requires read privileges. If PHP does not
have execute privileges, this is exactly what you should expect to
happen.

Give PHP execute rights on the directory in question...
