I've even run the command as sudo ($ sudo php /file.php) to make sure
PHP has the permissions to write the file.

Any ideas?

ulimit -c unlimited

So you can enable core files, the debug mode in PHP just stops
optimizations and stripping of symbols producing a more useful core file.

sudo gdb php

gdb> r /file.php

This way you don't need any core files at all.

Thanks guys :)
