I have installed PHP and Apache but when i try to view a PHP file i.e. http://127.0.0.1/hello.php i get a dialog box asking me if i want to

open or

save the file? Any ideas why this is happening?

Assuming, your Apache is configured to load the php module: Your Apache is not configured to handle .php files. You need to add directives in httpd.conf for PHP files. See PHP installation docs. -- Aj. Sys. Admin / Developer

Thanks for your reply, I have added the following lines to the beginning of httpd.conf LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php But am still unable to view php files... Any ideas? hi,

did you install apache 1.x or 2.x? does http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost show your apache-startpage? did you stop and restart apache after changing httpd.conf? did you copy php4ts.dll to one of the dirs as said in the manual? just some thoughts from me. every time i install a new envionment i make a file to '/htdocs'-dir called 'phpinfo.php' with the following: <?php

    phpinfo();

?> i call this file for testing: 'http://localhost/phpinfo.php'. this file will also be vey useful when developing new scripts. hth SVEN
