Fedora :: Php Apache Superglobals 403 Forbidden?

I am trying to get an internal webserver running and I am having issues with php. When I make a file (index.php) it runs perfectly. I can use PHP superglobals for the most part but the minute I use 'name' (ex: 'index.php?name=someone') I get a 403 forbidden. I thought for a while that it was something with all superglobals but if i change the code to use another variable it works fine.

works: ('index.php?person=fedora')
Code:
<?php
echo 'Hello ' . $_GET['person'] . '!';
?>
403 forbidden: ('index.php?name=fedora')

[Code]...

I have no idea if this is a apache issue, a php issue or something else random. I disabled SElinix in attempts to fix this, changed the owner and group to me and root and nothing seemed to have any effect. I also checked the document permissions in the httpd.conf and they all look correct.
