Hi Ethan,
you wrote about a 403 error, so I assume you invoke the script by
calling a webserver via browser.
In that case the webserver needs the permission to access /var/www and
to read StoreInventory.php.
By default the webserver runs as user/group www-data (it can be changed
in the webservers config-file(s)).
Try this:
#chown -R ethan:www-data /var/www
#chmod 775 /var/www
#chmod 640 /var/www/StoreInventory.php
Your ls should return something like this:
$ls -hal /var/www
drwxr-x--- 1 ethan www-data 4.0K Jun 3 20:35 .
-rw-r----- 1 ethan www-data 623 Jun 3 20:35 StoreInventory.php
If that does not work you might check the configuration- and log-files
of your webserver.
