php scripts don't need execute because they aren't run by name (constrast
with shell scripts) but instead they are run by invoking php to interpret

lhcount data doesn't need owner exec permission 666 would be OK.
600 or 644 would be better if you can adjust the user-id to match that of the
webserver.
