Setting SELinux to permissive temporarily is a good start, although
it's also helpful to check the audit logs, with:

ausearch -m avc -ts today

...to see if SELinux prevented access today.  It's quite likely
SELinux preventing access, particularly if you're using PHP to read a
file that's not in one of the standard WWW paths that the web server
is allowed to access.  SELinux prevents the web server from reading,
writing or executing files outside of a fairly select few locations.
