There aren't usually any special user/group permissions for PHP that are
different to Apache (i usually have all of my files owned by root with
group www-data, and only make certain files/dirs group writable), but i
think Chris is on the right track.  Check each component of the path all
the way down.  Here's a quick little shell function to do it:

lspath() {
    local dir="$1"
    while [ "$dir" != "/" ]; do
        echo "$dir"
        dir=$(dirname "$dir")
    done | xargs -d'\n' ls -ld
}

One stupid mistake i've made before is misreading the head portion: e.g.
/srv/www is the preferred location for web pages on newer installs, but
because /var/www was used for so long, i overlook the difference between
/var & /srv until i realise that i'm working in completely the wrong tree.
