PHP not being parsed in files with multiple periods

[mtfd]

Well that title was fun to type.

Anyway, I'm experiencing an issue with Apache not parsing PHP in files that have multiple periods, eg 'template.ebay.some_area.php'. Essentially these files are straight HTML and JS but I need to add a PHP check in one of them. Something as simple as this:

Code: Select all

<?php echo 'test'; ?>

is simply being printed out just like HTML (although you can't see the text in the browser, you need to view source to find it).

Anyone have any ideas on this? I checked http.conf and have not seen anything the jumps out at me.

Apologies if this topic has been covered before, I tried searching first but didn't find anything relevant.

HOW do you request/open this file in the browser?

Just a simple include.

Where is the site included?
And how do you request/open the file in the browser, which include the file?
