I'm not the King of PHP on the olug list.  

That title goes to Mr Mat Caughron, but I'm going to
take a stab at this, because I had the same problem
eariler this yr.  And had to ask the King of PHP for
help.  

Neil, how are you viewing your php files?  Through a
browser? 

If so, (is there any other way to view a php file?)
then in the address bar, I type:  

/var/html/phpinfo.php

And then it displays various information about the PHP
installation.

This is the phpinfo file, if you want to try it out: 

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
