Most people do not include the correct crunch bang in their code to make
the file work simply by making it executable. (chmod a+x /path/to/file)
If the file does not have the crunch bang (#!/usr/bin/php -q (for php))
then you can execute it by prefixing with php, and the file does not
need to be executable.
Sounds like you are getting along just fine.
