Notepad opening when I run a php script with my browser

I have spent about 5 days, off and on, getting Apache to half way work with my version of PHP. I started with apache 1.3.22 (win32) and a php version from early last year. I have been using apache for years and have had no problem with that ... but just now have started to try and get php to work with it and have problems. Currently I have this configuration: Windows XP Professional The latest download of PHP (version 4.3.1 installer ... windows binaries) ... plus one file from 4.3.2RC1 which I will explain shortly Apache 2.045 Browser = Netscape 4.79 ( I have others installed also) Originally I was having trouble getting apache to start when I added LoadModule php4_module e:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll in my httpd.conf After a lot of searching on the internet I found out that the latest version is flawed. The php4apache2.dll from version 4.3.2RC1 works though ... so at least I am past that hurdle. php.exe itself works fine from the command line using: php phpfile.php When I try and open this same file (phpfile.php) from my Netscape browser though, it wants to open Notepad. I think I must have set php default setting to Notepad. If I set the association to "php.exe", it runs, but then it goes away once it finishes. A php command string itside an HTML page is ignored. I have tried setting the php file associations to Netscape ... or to nothing. I do not know where to go from here. Thanks for any help, David
