Re: Local php issue/ Win 2000 Pro / Apache server local up / php webhosting(external) ok / php local (on my PC) displays as pure HTML

In addition: php files don't show up as special phpfiles in explorer... when using my apache server to read these php files, they just display as text (already did the folder options/filetypes thing pointing to php.exe) Sorry forgot to mention the main problem/issue!
