Look into the SELinux settings for your system, if you have that
enabled, by default PHP is not allowed to get that file via the user
nobody.
If you look into /var/log/messages you'll see some selinux messages.

You either need to disable selinux, or set your policy...http://
fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/

that url should help.
