The file permission was confirmed as root, since it was copied (as
root) from a normal user account directorp 'temporary' to the
directory '/var/www/html'

This fails:
[root@localhost html]# chown www-data test.php
chown: `www-data': invalid user
So I repeated this with a normal user account and the change in
permission occurs. However, the html file containing the php script
remains unchanged.
The instruction:
...
<?php phpinfo() ?>
...
Does not show the version of php.
