Keep in mind that if you change your dialplan to call a different
script you will need to
cli> dialplan reload

Other than that, I'm not sure that it's legal to put an argument into
a shbang, as in your -q when launching php.
It's also possible you've somehow locked down php or directories way
too much. The proper test is to:
bash$ sudo -u asterisk /path/to/script.php
