If you are using a module: Make sure Apache is told to process php pages with the proper module, as per the set up instructions. You should be looking for something like this: LoadModule php5_module C:/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll PHPIniDir C:/PHP/ AddType application/x-httpd-php .php If you are using the (F)CGI sapi: Same deal. Look for something like: ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/PHP/" AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe" Obvious you will need to change your paths appropriately for your configuration. Otherwise Apache will do what it's supposed to do with files it does not know about, pass them over to the browser for it to decide. Usually they get displayed, but some browsers may be set up to download/save them instead. You may also find some helpful info in Apache's logs. -- Niel Archer niel.archer (at) blueyonder.co.uk
