Its not a question of your PHP Code, it is a question of the requested PHP script (the whole file). See this error message:

You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server

Apache cannot open the requested file. As you dont tell us anything about that file (i.e. filename, path, where is stored, how looks the URL, etc. etc.), i dont have a clue what is going wrong, but anyway, it is NOT the contents of the file, it is the file itself which cannot be opened by Apache. I guess you applied an improper action-TAG in a form or so.
