why does PHP parse "*.html" files in one subdir/ but not in another?

Hi all, ..sitting here thinking this is so easy, and I must have been over this already in the past.. but it is eluding me just now.. I can't figure out why files with the .html extension ARE being parsed by PHP when they are in the main doc root dir/, or in one subdirectory down from there.. BUT NOT when in *another* new subdirectory that I just created. Both subdirectories have the exact same perms (same owner & group too), both have the same php.ini file in them,... neither have an .htaccess file in them.. (if that would matter?). Anyway I just need to get PHP tp process all .html files in this and in any new subdirectory(ies) that I will make. Can someone point me to what I need to pay attention to?
