But, it ISN'T being sourced. If php syntax is on, then you should see a syntax/php.vim file in your :scriptnames output, which you do not.

Ok, so you have a correctly set filetype and syntax. But somehow syntax/php.vim never got sourced. What does ":verbose set runtimepath?" say? Is your expected after directory on that path? Also, is there a directory on that path which includes a syntax directory which also includes a php.vim file? I'm baffled how you have php syntax highlighting if no php syntax definitions have been loaded. Try using this to see what highlight group is under the cursor:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Identify_the_syntax_highlighting_group_used_at_the_cursor

and then use :verbose hi NameOfHighlightGroupUnderCursor to see where it was set.

As suggested by somebody else, either of these will work:

:echo b:current_syntax
:let b:current_syntax
