Re: PHP extensions

If I understand correctly, you open My Computer, C:\myhtml and then double-click on junk.php, but it opens in notepad, not IE. This is how it's supposed to happen. PHP is a server-side language. That means the web server, be it Apache, IIS, whatever, must process the PHP code to make it work. IE has no idea what to do with a .PHP file. If you associate the .PHP extension with IE, then when you double-click on junk.php, it will open in IE as a big text file, showing the PHP code. You MUST access these files through your web server. http://127.0.0.1/junk.php For what it's worth, I have my .PHP extensions associated with the editor I use (Zend Studio). When I double-click on junk.php, Zend Studio opens with the code of junk.php in there.
