The answer is found in John 6:6,

John 6:6 (He said this to test Philip; actually he already knew what he would do.)

Jesus was going to teach Philip a very valuable lesson and test his faith. Jesus knew that He would perform a miracle to feed this crowd of people.

But did Philip realize that He was able to do this? Was Philip's faith great or was it small?

We can read in The Bible that up to this point in time Jesus had performed at least three miracles - water to wine, healing the the nobleman's son, healing the invalid man, and presumably Philip saw these miracles.

It appears Philip did not have great faith. He made some quick calculations and decided that even two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough to provide food for everyone.

If you are Christian, ask them if God always answers your prayers. Why did Jesus die on the cross for us. Because Jesus is God, ask them why you can only get to heaven through Jesus. Isn't Jesus God? But the bible says that you have to get to heaven through Jesus, not God.
