Hello everyone. Let me get to the point directly. I had to reinstalled a clean version of 7.2 and only one thing left to do and is is kicking my perverbial back side :-) I use php scripting for my little web site and access mysql. The old installation I got up in a snap. When i move the save files over to the htdoc directory and tried to view my index.php page it tries to download it. You can go to www.bmtsolutions.com and see what I mean. I have done everything under the sun to try to fix this and am missing something really lame. I know this is not exactly not a php-db issue directly but I am hoping someone can help. It looks like i might need hand leading here. ;>) Thanks for you valuable time. Bob

First, what the **** is 7.2, Mandrake ? RedHat ? Slackware? Debian ? Trustix? Corel ? SuSE ? Linux? FreeBSD ? OpenBSD ? NetBSD ? *BSD? Solaris ? SunOS ? HP-UX ? *NIX ? Windows ? BeOS? (I guess that makes the point clear) My guess is that your webserver (which you didn't name) is missing what in apache-speak would be AddType application/x-httpd-php .php (for php4) or AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3 (for php3). Out of interest which OS and httpd are we talking? (I've got a hunch telling me it's RedHat and apache, it usually is when somebody is running a version number and no OS). (and yes this is certainly not a php-db issue, php-install would have been the list you should have posted to). -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then.
