semky on "Apache not seeing php files"

What would cause apache to not see php files in /usr/local/www/apache24/data ?? It doesn't appear to be an ownership or permissions issue as both those are identical to index.html which is visible to apache. I've restarted apache umpty-zillion times, rebooted the computer more times than I can recall, refreshed browsers, tried different computers, to hair out and still have no idea whats wrong.

Maybe PHP isn't installed or not correctly configured, or it's a PHP processor issue? :)

don't suppose it's a htacces issue,
or an apache config.

if using redhat linux. it would be /usr/local/var/www/xxxxxx/data/test.php depending on apache config. or where ever you have document root.

so if it sees index.html it would also see test.html and then test.php.

make sure you have visible php output. echo. or print. like
$_seeSomething = " text that I want to see " ;
echo $_seeSomething;

do you have a plugin that allows php. like ezphp for when your in wp.
