php apache SELinux problem

I have a web page that calls a file, default.php. The web page works fine on a 
server with SELinux turned off, but not on one with enforcing turned on. The 
errors in the logs are like this:

[client 10.x.x.x] PHP Warning:  main(php/defaults.php): failed to open stream: 
Permission denied in /home/httpd/index.php on line 3
[client 10.x.x.x] PHP Warning:  main(): Failed opening 'php/defaults.php' for 
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/index.php on line 3

The permissions on the files are:

-rw-rw-r--  1 apache apache  8299 Feb 21 10:19 php/defaults.php
-rw-rw-r--  1 apache apache 4617 Feb 21 10:31 index.php

The SELinux settings are:

-rw-rw-r--  apache   apache   system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t php/defaults.php
-rw-rw-r--  apache   apache   system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t index.php

The first three lines of index.php looks like this:

<?php
   $relative_path_to_php = "php/"; //*relative* path from *this* page to php 
directory
   include($relative_path_to_php."defaults.php");


Any thoughts on why I'm having this problem?

Bill
