Make sure that your selinux-policy-targeted is up-to-date.

On FC3, look in /var/log/messages for "avc:  denied" messages.  Those
will show you SELinux permission denials.  audit2allow can be used to
turn those into allow rules to add to your policy, but be careful about
doing so blindly.

Certain booleans will let you customize behavior without adding new
allow rules, settable via setsebool or system-config-securitylevel GUI.
Since you mentioned php, read the contents of 'man httpd_selinux' and
look at your httpd boolean settings (getsebool -a | grep httpd).
