Re: Newby -- Browser won't run php

thank you for the advise. after changing it, when i open the file in my browser, I get the Save As dialog box, with my /home/Dan/*.php as my filter. and do_download.php phpinfo.php in the files box on the right side of the dialong box. I chose okay to Selection box on bottom reading /home/Dan/phpinfo.php. But nothing happens. this same box keeps reappearing now whenever i try to run the scrip. In fact, rather than open the phpinfo.php file, now my browser wants to overwrite it. Doesn't that seem strange? thanx Dan thanks again, Dan "Chris Rosser" <cyr13732@glaxowellcome.co.uk> wrote in message news:A764E60D43E5D211B0CD0000F840F78808C98521@ukz268.ggr.co.uk... > Dan, > > The 'script' you'll need is: > > <?php phpinfo(); ?> > > not <? phpinfo.php ?>. > > /Chris > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dan Campbell [SMTP:dcamp01@earthlink.net] > > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 10:14 AM > > To: php-install@lists.php.net > > Subject: [PHP-INST] Newby -- Browser won't run php > > > > Damn, this is hard.
