Just for fun...

On the command line, su to 'apache' and then do cat /dev/ttyS0

Okay, if that works, run your PHP script from the command line, as apache.

If *THAT* works, then I got nothin'

Report it as a bug, I guess. http://bugs.php.net

Though it's possible that the OS requires a shell to exist for you to open
/dev/ttyS0...

*MAYBE* you could try using http://php.net/exec (with "cat /dev/ttyS0")
and see if that allows you any kind of access. Doubt it, though.
