## Problem

New Relic does not report data within a few minutes of restarting your web server after installing the PHP agent.

## Solution

Use `phpinfo()` to verify that the agent was installed successfully:

1.  Create a simple `.php` webpage within your website that contains the following:

    ```php
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    ```
2.  Navigate to this page in a web browser and scroll through the alphabetical list of modules to find `newrelic`. If you do not see `newrelic` in this list, either you are using a non-standard version of PHP, or you have not restarted your web server (or other PHP host) since installing New Relic.
3.  Restart your web server to see if `newrelic` appears in your modules list.
4.  If `newrelic` does not appear in your modules list, [check your extensions directory](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/php/php-kb-104) to see if you have a [non-standard version of PHP](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/php/php-agent-installation-non-standard-php).
5.  If `newrelic` does appear in your modules list, verify that the `license.key` entry shows the first and last few characters of your license key
6.  If `license.key` is not appearing, [check your loaded configuration files directory](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/agents/php-agent/troubleshooting/checking-loaded-configuration-files-directory)

**Sample `phpinfo()` File**: If data does not appear on your New Relic [APM **Summary** page](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/apm/applications-menu/monitoring/apm-overview-page) within a few minutes after configuring both the PHP agent and the proxy daemon, check the New Relic section of your phpinfo() file to verify that New Relic is installed.
