#!/usr/local/bin/php
passthru("printenv");

If you are sure the PHP executable can be found in that location. And the file is executable. But it still returns this error:

/usr/local/bin/php: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Big change the file you are trying to execute is on a filesystem with the noexec flag set.
To fix this either set the exec flag for the filesystem or move the script to a place where it can be executed.
