Hello,
What permissions should PHP files have on a unix/linux system?
Is 655 appropriate?
Many thanks in advance.

Different files should have different permissions, depending on location/purpose.

thank you for your response.
What about a typical login script? Should it be 755?

Depends what you're trying to do, but I assume 755 would be fine:
If you didn't know (just in case):
OWNER = first digit (7)
GROUP = second digit (5)
USER = last digit (5)
The numbers are made up from the sum of the following permissions: 4 [read] 2 [write] 1 [execute]
So 7 = read+write+execute = 4+2+1
5 = read+execute = 4+1 (note NO write permission)
The scripts need to be read/executed by users (browsers).
