Recursive Searches

I'm trying to get Recursive searches working on my RH9 box.

Recursion works for neither ls no grep.  

I've tried, for example, ls -R *.php   and  ls --recursive *.php  And
all I see is the current directory.  I know there are numerous *.php
files in the subdirectories.

I've also been through the range of grep recursive options, -R, -r,
--recursive and --directories=recurse

Anyone have any suggestions?  Is there some setting somewhere which has
disabled the recursive search?

Thanks very much.
