You don't need to add execution permission on php files, install php5-cli:

sudo apt-get install php5-cli

And now to run your php file, just type:

php test.php

Alternatively to really make it executable, add the php shebang:

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
Print "Hello, World!";
?>

And add the execution permission on your file:

chmod +x ./test.php
