Also, my home folder is owned by root for some reason and every time I log in, Ubuntu says, omg! you don't own the home folder your gunna die!!

Help?

Does running php ./index.php work? If not, can you post the output of ls -l ~/Downloads/pgd-0.3.2/index.php please?

As far as your home folder goes, this should work (substitute your username:group):
Code:
sudo chown -Rc username:group /home/username

It's not my file in the home folder, it's the home folder itself.

As for the other thing, It told me I didn't have php installed, so I installed it and then I tried again and got this:
Quote:
dan@Dan-PC:~/Downloads/pgd-0.3.2$ ./index.php
bash: ./index.php: Permission denied
dan@Dan-PC:~/Downloads/pgd-0.3.2$ php ./index.php

Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /home/dan/Downloads/pgd-0.3.2/index.php on line 93
dan@Dan-PC:~/Downloads/pgd-0.3.2$

Then you only need to stop the command being recursive. For example:
Code:
sudo chown -c username:group /home/username
The other one looks like a syntax error in your PHP on line 93. It might be better to post the PHP code in a new thread in the programming forum.
