Ok so i've been messing with this for awhile...and it simply wont work...here is the plugin:

Dir: .../wp-content/plugins/oop/

File: oop.php

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: OOP
Plugin URI: http://www.domain.com/
Description: oop tests
Version: 1.0.0
Author: Jason
Author URI: http://www.domain.com/
*/
function oop_test(){
  add_option('oop_test','testing');
}
function oop_disp(){
  $test = get_option('oop_test');
  if($test !== false){
    echo $test;
  }else{
    echo 'Activation hook failed';
  }
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'oop_test' );
add_action('admin_head','oop_disp');
?>

Simple right?...well I can't get it to work...indecently, I have other plugins that use the same register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'some_func' ); and it works fine??? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!

its working just fine, if its not working for you then may be some other plugin removing the option? – Hameedullah Khan Jan 2 '12 at 19:52
@Hameedullah hmmm...well i tried it with only that plugin, and still no go...but also I tried reinstalling an existing plugin that had worked before, and now it's activation hook is not being called either...Jason – user11619 Jan 2 '12 at 20:28
